Rhode Island sports betting breaks records in November

Sports betting in Rhode Island reached a peak in November 2020, with the highest recorded revenue since October.

US.- According to state regulators, November 2020 was a record-breaking month for sports betting in Rhode Island in terms of both revenue and handle.

Figures released by the Rhode Island Lottery show the state generated $6.3m in sports betting revenue in November, exceeding the previous record of $4.4m set in October by 43%.

Sports betting handle also went up to $35.1m, an 11.4 per cent year-over-year increase from November 2019.

The two Twin River casinos in the state produced $19.4m of the handle and mobile sportsbooks $15.7m.

Mobile sports betting was legalised in Rhode Island in 2019, and since then it has received opposition from Republican activist Daniel Harrop.

But in June last year, a state judge rejected Harrop’s request to halt sports betting in casinos and online.
