FanDuel added around 1.7 million female users last year. DraftKings brought in an estimated 900,000 women. While the number of men on sports betting apps was 250% more than women in 2021, men’s growth rate was only 63%. Some of the biggest sportsbook apps in the U.S.
reportedly now have more female users than male, including BetRivers and its associated New Jersey outlet SugarHouse (54% to 46%).
Fewer than 380,000 men signed up with the company last year, compared to around 600,000 women. Despite the higher growth rate, women use the apps less frequently than men. The study found that 70% of women engage with the apps for a mere one-to-five weeks per year compared to 61% of men.
New Numbers
The overall number of sportsbook app users has doubled over the last two years, with the top 5% of users claiming more than half of all app usage.
