The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission reported a combined $59.7 million in adjusted gross sports betting revenue for the months of January and February as sportsbooks posted double-digit holds in both months to open 2024.
Handle in the Bluegrass State totaled $465.5 million. Sportsbooks accepted $257.1 million worth of wagers in January and another $208.4 million in February. Both months continued a trend of month-over-month declines in handle — January handle was down 2.6% from December, while February’s was 19% lower than January. February handles, though, are almost always lower than January ones with fewer days in the month.
