Bettors in Arizona wagered $454m (£345.8m/€410.5m) in June, the latest month of revenue reporting available, according to a Friday (30 August) Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) press release.
That number beat the same month in 2023 by $60.8m or 13.5%. But it was down 20% from $568.4m in May.
Gross gaming revenue for Arizona sportsbooks before promotional deductions was $46.2m. Operators wrote off $14.6m, meaning adjusted gross revenue was $31.6m, which is taxable. Operators paid the state $3.16m in tax revenue. Digital wagering operators are taxed at 10% and brick-and-mortar sportsbooks are taxed at 8%.
Digital platforms accounted for $449.7m in handle and $31.3 in AGR. The state has three retail sportsbooks that it can tax and they collectively took $4.4m in bets. The rest of Arizona’s brick-and-mortar locations are in Indian Country and bets are not taxed by the state.
There was a $5,210.70 “annual audit adjustment” noted on the report.
