« Last post by Papillon on Today at 05:59:21 PM »FanDuel's operations at the Meadowlands consistently generate the majority of New Jersey's sports betting revenue. However, specific "profits" for the Meadowlands Racetrack are complex, as a percentage of the revenue is used to cover the racetrack's operational losses and contribute to horse racing purses, rather than being pure profit for the track itself.
Meadowlands/FanDuel Revenue Snapshot (NJ)
Overall Market Dominance: FanDuel, which operates online and a physical sportsbook through the Meadowlands' New Jersey license, is the leading operator in the state's highly competitive market.
Monthly Performance: In January 2024, the Meadowlands (with its three online partners including FanDuel) set a record by surpassing $100 million in monthly revenue.
Annual Revenue (2023): Profits (revenue) for the entire Meadowlands operation from sports betting surpassed $458 million for the year 2023.
Retail vs. Online: The vast majority of revenue comes from online sports betting. For example, in December 2023, online revenue for the Meadowlands was $49.3 million, while the physical (retail) location contributed around $1.8 million.
Racetrack Allocation of Revenue
The financial arrangement is critical to understanding "profits at the Meadowlands":
In 2024, $2.5 million from sports betting revenue was added directly to the horse racing purse account.
An additional $11.5 million was used to cover the operating losses of the racetrack for the year.
Therefore, while the FanDuel-powered operation is a massive revenue generator in New Jersey, the Meadowlands Racetrack itself uses a significant portion of this income to subsidize its horseracing operations, not generating a direct "profit" for the track as a standalone business in the traditional sense.
