NH Lottery sets sports betting record with mobile wagering
CONCORD – November 2024 was a record-breaking month for the New Hampshire Lottery, setting the stage for the fifth anniversary of sports betting in the Granite State.
Sports betting generated more than $4.5 million to directly support New Hampshire public education. This was the single highest monthly revenue total in the history of New Hampshire sports betting. New Hampshire Lottery players also wagered more than $75 million in November.
The New Hampshire Lottery launched mobile sports betting on Dec. 30, 2019 and since that time, players have placed more than $3.4 billion in total handle, which has generated nearly $130 million for education. The November sports betting revenue total tops the previous high of $4 million, set in January 2024, raising the state’s take from sports betting to more than $14 million for the first five months of fiscal year 2025, a 10 percent increase from last fiscal year.
“We had a phenomenal November. Interest in the NBA Cup and a strong NFL schedule, combined with the popularity of the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight, really pushed us over the top,” said Lottery Executive Director Charles McIntyre. “We continue to build incredible momentum with sports betting month after month, year after year and that’s a testament to the dedication of our remarkable team who, together with DraftKings, continues to respond strategically to industry trends and player demand. Our success with sports betting speaks for itself, and we’re proud that our work is providing critical funding to support the students, teachers and schools of New Hampshire.”
November wagering continued a trend that started earlier last fall, with betting on NFL and NCAA football heading for record numbers. So far this football season, bettors have wagered more than $134 million.
“While betting is fun and exciting, it is always important to do so responsibly,” said McIntyre. “We continue to encourage players to utilize DraftKings’ responsible gaming features, designed to help players become more knowledgeable about their play and keep their gaming as a fun source of entertainment.”
Together, DraftKings and the New Hampshire Lottery take responsible gaming seriously and the state-of-the-art DraftKings app offers consumers a number of responsible gaming tools, including My Stats Sheet, a gaming tool that gives players the ability to assess, track and interact with their personal gaming stats, as well as limit setting, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion.
