The sportsbook brought in $383,572.79 in revenue in January. That blew away the February total of $141,676.99 that included the Super Bowl, the biggest game — the biggest day of wagering — of the calendar year.

That’s not surprising, said Jason Johnston, WarHorse’s sportsbook manager. January — with three rounds of NFL playoffs, the New Year’s Day bowl games, the college football playoffs and a full slate of men’s and women’s college basketball — had far more sports wagering opportunities.

“There were a lot of events in January — we were still in the NFL regular season,” he said.
