It’s information overload everywhere, and there’s not time enough to sleep and eat and stay fully apprised of what’s happening on this crazy blue dot of ours (two out of three ain’t bad).

Here’s the weekend Sports Handle item, “Get a Grip,” recapping the week’s top stories and rounding up key stories in sports betting, gaming, and the world of sports at large. You may have missed them, and they are worth reading.

PA online sportsbooks bring immediate gratification

Pennsyvlania‘s three online sportsbooks accounted for 41 percent of the state’s total betting handle in June, according to a report from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The report, released Thursday, is the first to include a full month of online sports betting in the Keystone State.

According to PGCB, state sportsbooks took $46.3 mm in sports bets, resulting in $3.13 mm in revenue and nearly $700,000 in state tax revenue. Bricks-and-mortar sportsbooks took in $27 mm in bets while online/mobile books took in $19.33 mm. Only PlaySugarHouse, which opened in late May, was online for the whole month, and it accounted for $18.17 mm of the online handle. Both Rivers and Parx casino’s online options were available for a week or less in June. 

In terms of bricks-and-mortar sportsbooks, the Rivers Casino in Philadelphia generated the largest handle, taking in $6.2 mm, followed by $5.18 mm by Parx, and $5.16 mm by SugarHouse.

The PGCB does not break down bets by sport.
