The total betting handle for February was $31,500,741.94. This is a small decrease from $32,011,838.76 in January. No real concern here since February had 3 fewer days and only one NFL game.
The gross sports betting revenue compared to the January revenue report is a bit more glaring. The February PA Sports betting gross revenue was $1,946,816.50. That is a 25% drop from $2,607,215.09 in January. Granted, most PA Sportsbooks reported heavy Super Bowl action on the Patriots, so revenue was impacted when they covered the number. The latest PA Sports betting figures mentioned above are from the PGCB.

Online Sport Betting in April?
With the launch of 2 more sportsbooks recently, including FanDuel at Valley Forge Casino Resort, we ask again, where is mobile betting in PA?
Parx Casino CMO Marc Oppenheimer said they are looking to have Parx online sports betting before iGaming launches this Summer. Reading through the lines, Parx could take online bets as early as next month (April, 2019).
