Sports betting in Arizona is roughly a year old now, having launched back in September 9, 2021. In the whole year, the state’s sportsbooks collected more than $5.4 billion in sports wagers. As a pay per head bookie, you know how much revenue that is for sportsbooks. Even the state was able to collect $21 million in fees. This is a very strong start for the local sports betting market.
Even more, online sports betting takes up 99% of all of the wagers made in state. So if you want to own a pay per head sportsbook, the potential income is more than enough to get you started. And even if you are concerned about the startup costs, it won’t be for long. Aside from the pay per head fees that you will regularly pay, promotional expenses will go down as you gain more customers. For instance, back in September 2021, Arizona sportsbooks spent upwards of $31.2 million in free bets, offers, and promos. But for August 2022, the amount is down to just $8.5 million. It tapers off after a few months, so you will be gaining more net income as the months pass by.
