From the amount that was wagered, the operators earned <strong>$19.3 million<\/strong> in revenue which was also a huge increase from the $9.9 million that was earned in August.\u00a0 Based on the state&#8217;s 36 percent tax rate on gross revenue, the state received <strong>$5.3 million in tax revenue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September marked the very first time that the state&#8217;s sportsbooks could legally accept wagers on the NFL&#8217;s games.

In fact, online gambling accounted for 81 percent of the total handle thus proving the immense potential of that sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The online sports betting and daily fantasy sports (DFS) providers struggled to get to the top spot. The FanDuel Sportsbook at Valley Forge Casino eventually topped the field \u2013 it accepted $85.1 million in bets and $7.1 million in revenue. FanDuel was followed by SugarHouse Casino, Rivers Casino, Parx Casino and Fox Bet which handled <strong>$31.2 million, $23.5 million, $13.8 million and $4.5 million in bets respectively.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"daily-fantasy-sports-dfs-keep-going\">Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) Keep Going<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the growing interest in sports betting, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"daily fantasy sports (DFS) (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/business\/draftkings-pennsylvania-approves-10th-legal-sports-betting-casino-meadows-20191002.html\" target=\"_blank\">daily fantasy sports (DFS)<\/a> is still posting pretty impressive results.
