Overall, the state’s licensed sports betting operators reported a combined AGR of $$27.7 million, a drop of 18% on September’s reported AGR of $33.8 million. This means that although sportsbooks enjoyed a record month, state taxes actually dropped from $3.2 million in September to $2.6 million in October.
