Pennsylvania Sets All-Time Monthly Handle Record at $990.6M (November 2025)
November 2025 marks the highest single-month wagering volume in Pennsylvania sports betting history.
What Happened
Driven by a full slate of NFL action, College Football Playoff jockeying, and a deep NBA opening month, Pennsylvania bettors wagered $990.6 million in November 2025 — the largest single month since legalization in 2018. State tax revenue for the month reached $33.4 million.
Background & Context
November is historically PA's peak handle month thanks to the alignment of NFL regular season, college football late-season, and NBA opening month. The $990.6M figure surpassed the previous PA record (October 2024 at $939M) and signaled the market continues to expand even seven years after launch.
What It Means for PA Bettors
For PA, the record confirms top-five US market status by handle. For lawmakers, it adds fuel to recurring debates about whether the 36% tax rate captures sufficient revenue. For bettors, the volume drives more aggressive promotional activity from operators competing for share.
