Legal sports betting has generated $68 million in handle across retail and mobile Kentucky sportsbooks in its first month, Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday. 

The vast majority of that handle came from online sports betting apps, seven of which went live Thursday across the state. While the exact breakdown of the $68 million in weekend wagering was not announced, Beshear told reporters the state’s brick-and-mortar sportsbooks took more than $10 million in wagers since they opened on Sept. 7.

During his weekly press briefing, Beshear said no one should be surprised by the early numbers, especially since Kentuckians have been betting through licensed sports betting apps for years in surrounding states.

“We’ll watch these numbers grow,” he said. “Best part is all of it stays in Kentucky, helping with our pension system and other needs. This is the first time that Kentuckians have been able to stay home, and our dollars haven’t gone to paving roads in Indiana or investing in other states around us.”
