NORTH CAROLINA — New data from the North Carolina Lottery said sports betting revenue is up 7% from last year.
According to the Charlotte Business Journal, paid and promotional wagers totaled over $560 million last month.
That’s in comparison to the nearly $525 million garnered the year before.
According to the Business Journal, the gain came despite a decline in promotional betting money.
Those are credits offered by operators to encourage customers to place bets.
