Let's get to Pennsylvania and very similar to other states around the country, the way
00:07
to entice new sports bettors into their site or their app or to just simply make a bet
00:13
is definitely by doing these promos, not just parlays, Jim, but promos as well.
00:18
Tell us more.
00:19
Yeah.
00:20
So in Pennsylvania, we have seen in the last two months, July and August, which we have
00:26
the reports for is that promo spending nearly doubled in both months when compared to those
00:32
same months, July and August of 2023.
00:35
And typically what I found interesting would be, you know, you'd figured you would see
00:39
those those promo increases start in September when NFL betting kicks off.
00:46
But it seems like in the last couple of months and even going back to last year, that that
00:50
promo spending is starting to increase a bit earlier and earlier, at least in Pennsylvania's
00:55
case.
00:56
Now, they did spend about 15 million dollars, the sportsbooks did in those free bet giveaways
01:03
in Pennsylvania in August, and that 15 million dollars was up from about eight and a half
01:08
or so million in August of 2023.
01:11
FanDuel DraftKings are the two main heavy spenders in that market for July and August
01:21
as well.
01:22
So, again, we'll see what happens when that September report comes out in the next handful
01:26
of weeks.
01:27
Last September, promotional spending jumped to about 30 million dollars for the month.
01:33
So I'm expecting to see a very similar figure.
01:39
Perhaps if if July and August are are any indication, perhaps we'll see even an increase
01:45
over that 30 million dollar promotional spend like we saw in September in Pennsylvania last
01:50
year, kind of going off of what we were just discussing in in Michigan, handle revenue
01:56
up in Pennsylvania as well in August.
02:00
And again, just seeing those widespread increases like we've talked about pretty much every
02:05
week, Craig, as we've seen and gone through the summer with most of these sports betting
02:11
markets in the U.S. posting those gains in volume year over year.
02:17
And like we talked about, too, with the increase in the parlay betting, just those the revenue
02:23
and the profits really increasing year over year for the sportsbooks as well.
02:29
And like I said, Pennsylvania has been no different looking at that August report.
