Delaware’s September sports wagering handle hits $23.2m

The latest figures bring the 2024/25 total wagering handle figure up to $43.4m.

Figures released by Delaware Lottery Games reveal a total wagering handle of $23.2m for the month of September, bringing the state’s total for the 2024/25 year up to $43.4m following its highest-grossing month so far this year.   

Figures have increased by over double in comparison to Delaware’s handle from August, which reached $10.3m, with gross gaming revenue (GGR) also rising by over 322% month-over-month. Further, the $2.96m collected by the state increased from the $950,000 collected in September of last year. September’s overall revenue figure brings the total revenue generated in Delaware so far this year up to a total of $4.7m.   

BetRivers at Delaware Park led the way once again in September, bringing in wagering handle of $12.9m, alongside a total of $1.2m in GGR. Delaware Park was followed by Harrington which posted a wagering handle of $3.9m and a GGR of $383,207.   

Delaware was, of course, the first state outside of Nevada to legalize and launch retail sports betting following the abolishment of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in June 2018. In September 2024, retail sports betting generated a wagering handle of $4.2m.   

Gaming in the state has gone from strength to strength in recent years, with iGaming figures reaching $133.7m for the month of May this year. Additionally, Delaware also recently welcomed AGSi, as the company made its state debut vis RSI’s BetRivers platform.   

Similarly, Maryland also posted its own gaming revenue results for the month of September, revealing that the state’s casinos generated a figure of $159.5m during the month, an increase of 2.8% year-over-year.
