The Rhode Island sports betting numbers for April 2023 show a slight decrease from the previous year as $37.5 million was wagered throughout the month compared to $40.2 million in 2022. This number also represented a 9.6% drop from March 2023, although revenue did see a major 25% increase. The March 10, 2023 launch of Massachusetts sports betting was a major factor in this decrease, as bettors would no longer need to travel to Rhode Island to place bets.
