Churchill Downs' online wagering falls on launch, marketing costs

"The ‘online wagering’ segment, which includes not only the TwinSpires advance deposit wagering site but also the new BetAmerica online sports betting and iGaming business, reported revenue falling by $1.7m to $70.4m. Online earnings fared much worse, dropping nearly 28% to $15m. CDI blamed the online slump on “the exit of certain existing high volume / low margin customers” from Velocity Wagering Services, its Isle of Man-based ADW site for international racing bettors. TwinSpires’ Q3 betting handle, which doesn’t include Velocity, was up 7.9% year-on-year as active players rose by 2.6% but net revenue per active player fell 1.1%."
