The national debate around the top player in the sports betting market may have caused a debate in the last few weeks but, in New Jersey, there is no debate at all as data shows that FanDuel made nearly 70% of the entire state’s revenue last month.

To further demonstrate FanDuel’s strength in the market, DraftKings was the second-best performer in revenue but only made $15.3m.
October’s handle reached $1.29bn, $1.24bn of which came from online channels, which is consistent with September’s figures and continues to show interest in NFL betting since the start of the 2023/24 season. YTD handle is currently at $9.06bn.
Operators had a hold rate of 7.1% last month which shows another month of declining hold, after 8% in September and over 13% in August.
