U.S. sports betting handle hits record as casinos bounce back slowly

The eye-popping numbers reaffirmed sports betting’s momentum in the roughly 30 months since it’s been allowed to expand nationwide.

Sportsbooks Set Records

Americans wagered $2.1 billion in August 2020, an all-time single-month record. Sportsbooks generated $119.4 million in revenue, trailing only the $138 million held in January 2020. The August 2020 revenue total was a 90.2 percent increase from August 2019.
