Like the Nationals-BetMGM arrangement, William Hill\u2019s app is available for use only in a two-block radius around the arena.<\/p>\n
Despite the marked territorial advantage that GambetDC holds over William Hill, it\u2019s the latter that\u2019s the big winner so far, according to lottery office records.<\/p>\n
\n
In April \u2013 the most recent month that records for both are available \u2013 William Hill had more betters and a far greater handle. William Hill reported 100,955 bets, compared to 87,085 for GambetDC. However, William Hill took in $8 million on those wagers, compared to $2.7 million for GambetDC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
William Hill\u2019s gross gaming revenue of $1.6 million was about three times as much as GambetDC\u2019s $535,772.<\/p>\n
Besides the fact that arenas attract sports fans who are more likely to wager on events, critics of DC\u2019s sports betting operation have noted that GambetDC\u2019s takes more juice, or offers lines that pay less than other sportsbooks.<\/p>\n
