Context & Analysis


  • Parlay was the largest single wager category in April, accounting for $153.5M (31% of total handle).
  • Basketball handle ($127.8M) was driven by the NBA playoffs and tail end of March Madness settlements.
  • Football handle ($5.9M) reflects the NFL off-season; expect the year-end Football share to climb back above $200M/month from September onward.
  • DraftKings (under Ameristar East Chicago) led all online operators by handle for the month at $170.7M, narrowly outpacing FanDuel at $129.5M.
  • Fanatics Sportsbook continued its 2026 growth at $52.5M, now firmly mid-pack ahead of bet365 and BetMGM.
  • Caesars Sportsbook's digital operations run under Harrah's Hoosier Park's license via the WilliamHill.com backend.
  • theScore Bet (the consumer brand operated by PENN Entertainment) files under the theScore.com legal entity in IGC reports.

Methodology & Source


All figures sourced directly from the Indiana Gaming Commission's "Summary of Wagering and Supplemental Tax" filings, published monthly at in.gov/igc. Handle includes both online and retail wagers, including bets placed on future events. Taxable Adjusted Gross Revenue is computed after payouts and adjustments. Indiana taxes sports-wagering AGR at 9.5%.

Operator-to-casino license mapping follows the IGC's "Detail of Sports Wagering Tax" page. A few operators (Caesars Sportsbook, theScore Bet) operate under different legal entity names than their consumer-facing brand — those mappings are noted in the table above.
