Mobile Taking A Bigger Share Of Nevada Sports Betting

LAS VEGAS – Nevada’s sportsbook counters are slowly giving way to phones . The Nevada Gaming Control Board’s September report shows bettors placed $510.8 million in mobile wagers, or 71.7% of the state’s $712.4 million handle. That’s up from 67.2% last September and 54.9% in September 2020. August pushed the trend even further, with mobile reaching 80.3% of handle . But Nevada sports betting still has ground to make up on the rest of the country. In Illinois, 98.5% of August’s completed bets came through online sportsbooks. Most of September’s shift came at the counters.
