The month delivered contrasting trends: iGaming AGR rose 0.5% from June, while online sports betting AGR surged 52.7%, rebounding sharply from a slower early-summer performance. Year-over-year, iGaming AGR climbed 23.6%, and online sports betting AGR increased 28.8%.
Sports Betting Handle Dips Slightly
Michigan bettors wagered $355.2 million online in July, a 3.0% decline from June’s handle. Despite the dip in total wagers, operators retained a stronger share of betting revenue due to improved win rates.
