New Jersey hit an impressive milestone in August, even if all those futures bets win.
The state crossed the $2 billion threshold for sports betting revenue since June 2018, the first full month after the fall of PASPA.
The next closest three states are Nevada ($1.44 billion), Pennsylvania ($1.21 billion) and Illinois ($987.5 million), but it might not be any of them hitting that $2 billion mark next.
| State | 2022 Average Monthly Revenue | Approximate Months to $2 Billion |
|---|---|---|
| New York | $97.7 million (through August) | 12 months |
| Illinois | $53 million (through June) | 19 months |
| Pennsylvania | $39.9 million (through August) | 20 months |
| Nevada | $30 million (through July) | 19 months |
