July had a significant rise in revenue for sports betting in Arkansas compared to June.
Of course, it would have been pretty difficult for the state’s sportsbooks not to do better in July than they had the previous month.
Arkansas sportsbooks reported July net win (or revenue) of $854,436 . In June they combined for a mere $4,045 in revenue, thanks largely to big losses reported by the newest online sports outlet in the state, at Saracen.
That July figure was a 21023% percent jump from June sportsbook revenue in Arkansas.
The mobile sports betting net win for July was $478,737. In June it wasn’t a win at all, as the state had minus-$106,135 that month.
