Illinois sports betting revenue soared in August as Rush Street Gaming’s BetRivers brand finally got some online wagering competition.

Figures released Tuesday by the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) show locally licensed sportsbook operators generated combined handle of $139.8m in August, a significant boost from July’s $52.5m total, while revenue totaled $7.2m. 

Online wagering accounted for $123.5m (88.4%) of August’s handle, of which Rush Street’s BetRivers once again claimed the lion’s share ($106.5m). BetRivers’ land-based casino partner Rivers Casino Des Plaines also claimed around $11.5m of the market’s $16m in retail wagering.

BetRivers welcomed two online competitors in August, DraftKings and FanDuel, which reported digital wagering handle of $13m and $4.2m, respectively, reflecting their staggered launch dates. DraftKings’ land-based partner, DraftKings at Casino Queen, added another $1m from its retail betting, while FanDuel’s sportsbook at Boyd Gaming’s Par-A-Dice Casino wasn’t open in August.
