DraftKings will remain the only sportsbook in New Hampshire. The state lottery commission confirmed a two-year extension. The deal runs through June 30, 2028.
This single-operator model has been in place since December 2019. DraftKings has generated impressive results during this period. The numbers tell a compelling story.
Since launch, players have wagered $4.5 billion total. Education funding received $172 million in contributions. These funds directly support New Hampshire schools.
Fiscal year 2025 saw continued growth. The handle reached $815 million. This shows strong player engagement statewide.
New Hampshire ranks in the top three nationally. Sports betting revenue per capita remains impressive. The state’s model proves profitable for all parties.
However, taxes vary by platform type. Mobile betting faces a 51% tax rate. Retail locations pay a lower 50% rate. These rates remain among the highest in America.
The new agreement includes some changes. Promotional deductions will increase for retail operations. The cap rises from 10% to 40%. Mobile promotional deductions stay at 15%.
This adjustment helps brick-and-mortar locations. They can offer more competitive promotions. Meanwhile, mobile maintains its current structure.
In addition to the extension, DraftKings commits to continued investment. Technology upgrades will improve the player experience. Marketing efforts will expand the customer base.
State officials expressed satisfaction with the partnership. Lottery Commission members praised DraftKings’ performance. They highlighted the consistent revenue stream for education.
Therefore, New Hampshire continues its unique approach. Most states allow multiple operators. This monopoly model keeps delivering strong results.
