Hold reaches 7.04% in October
Adjusted gross revenue after player winnings came to $49.0 million. The total falls 13.1% short of October 2023 and 25.6% behind September’s $65.9 million.
Of that total $48.8 million in AGR came from online betting, while retail brought in $232,925. The Virginia Lottery does not publish a full breakdown of operator performance. However, 11 of the 13 mobile operators and three casinos that licensed for betting reported net positive AGR.
The $49.0m AGR suggests a hold of 7.04% across retail and online. Online hold was 7.05% and retail 5.93%. This marks a signifcant decline from an 11.5% hold in September 2024. Last October the state’s sports betting hold stood at 11.2% for the month.
