Context & Analysis


  • Parlay remained the largest single wager category in May at $141.1M, roughly 33% of total handle.
  • Basketball handle held up at $96.2M, still driven by the NBA playoffs.
  • Baseball climbed to $69.3M with the MLB regular season in full swing.
  • Football handle stayed at an off-season low of $5.8M; expect it to climb from September onward.
  • DraftKings (under Ameristar East Chicago) again led all online operators at $156.3M in handle, ahead of FanDuel at $118.4M.
  • Total May handle of $428.2M eased back from April's $491.4M, a routine late-spring dip as the NBA and NHL seasons wound down.
  • Caesars Sportsbook's digital operations run under Harrah's Hoosier Park's license via the WilliamHill.com backend.

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.
