FanDuel reigns in March madness with New Jersey revenues of $17.6m
Latest DGE figures reveal sports betting revenues up a record 149% in March
FanDuel’s online sportsbook reigned in New Jersey’s March numbers with its licensor, the Meadowlands racetrack, reporting $17.6m in betting revenues for the month.
That figure also included a “sharply growing” contribution from pointsBet, according to the operator.
DraftKings followed with Resorts Digital making $7.3m in sports betting revenues.
Jack Andrews, a prominent New Jersey professional bettor, and spokesperson for PointsBet, suggested FanDuel had taken over the lead in the market from DraftKings thanks to its willingness to take bigger bets from customers.
Both DraftKings and FanDuel started out in NJ with a huge book of customers.
Both had similar pricing. Similar offerings. Similar promos.FanDuel is now crushing DraftKings in revenue.
🤔I wonder what one thing they do differently?🤔
