The total amount wagered (handle) in June 2025 reached an impressive $351.1 million, marking a 17.7% year-over-year increase compared to June 2024. This strong growth momentum is indicative of a healthy market, with Ameristar Casino leading the pack with a handle of $131.5 million.

Together, Ameristar Casino and Blue Chip Casino accounted for over 65% of the state's handle in June 2025.

For the whole of 2025 (up to early July), Indiana handled a total of about $2.4 billion in bets and generated approximately $223 million in gross revenue. The average hold percentage stayed steady at 9.4%. Compared to 2024's full-year data where Indiana handled $5.21 billion in bets and earned $485 million in revenue, the 2025 pace suggests stable market performance with moderate growth expected.
The growth in the sports betting market has also resulted in increased tax revenue for Indiana. In June 2025 alone, the state collected nearly $4.3 million in taxes from sports betting.
It's worth noting that mobile betting is now available in 30 states, and retail sportsbooks are operational in 38 states plus Washington D.C. This expansion of sports betting options is likely to continue driving the growth of the market in the coming years.
