With Washington D.C., Virginia and Maryland on the verge of legalizing sports betting, Delaware can expect an even larger chunk of revenue to be drawn from their market as online bettors across state lines to make bets. The drop in revenue in Delaware can be directly drawn to the offering of online betting in neighboring Pennsylvania, where the state brought in a record handle of $316.2 million in bets in November of 2019. As New Jersey and Pennsylvania continue to flourish after making the jump to mobile betting, Delaware’s lack of online offerings has stifled growth. One of the big reasons that Delaware has seen a drop in the total handle is contributed to the overall lack of online options. Despite the excitement around the expansion of sports betting in the United States, Delaware became the first state to show falling revenue numbers compared from one year to the next as the state’s 2019 monthly handle figures did not match the 2018 totals.
