The sports betting industry continues to be one of the fastest-growing businesses in the country, at least where revenue is concerned.

With nearly $150 billion wagered legally across the country in 2024, and legal states trending slightly ahead of last year's pace so far in 2025, sports betting has established a massive foothold in the American sports scene.

We break down the most up-to-date numbers both in sum and by state, sharing the monthly handle and hold for all legal jurisdictions. These are updated regularly, so check in often.

US Sports Betting Revenue: 2025 vs Previous Years

Let there be no doubt that sports betting continues to grow at a breakneck pace.

After taking in $149.7 billion in total legal wagers in 2024, the U.S. has now seen nearly $494 billion in bets at legal sportsbooks since the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) was repealed in 2018.

And as expected, the best sportsbooks in North America have driven the majority of the action in nearly every state.

Here's a look at the yearly handle, revenue and hold percentage by year to date (and check out our handy glossary at the bottom of the page for definitions of these betting terms).

Arkansas Sports Betting Revenue

A record-breaking November gave way to a miserable December for Arkansas sports betting; the end result: A drop in average hold rate for the second consecutive year (though revenue and tax intake rose). Sportsbooks are taxed at a 13% rate on the first $150 million in revenue, and 20% on every dollar above that.

Colorado Sports Betting Revenue

The Colorado sports betting scene is one of the most prolific in the nation (and that's especially true for all of the table tennis enthusiasts in the Centennial State). Strangely, Colorado has seen just four months with double-digit hold since the start of 2022, though two of them have come over the past six months of reporting (along with a 9.8% result in September).

DC Sports Betting Revenue

A little extra competition has had a big impact on the DC sports betting scene, between the replacement of GambetDC with the far superior FanDuel and the introduction of more sports betting options overall. But all those good vibes have come at a steep cost, with DC sportsbooks generating double-digit holds in 10 of 12 months in 2024.

Delaware Sports Betting Revenue

The coffers in The First State are positively brimming thanks to a 50% tax rate levied on BetRivers, the lone Delaware sports betting operator. That prompted BetRivers to tighten the odds considerably on most of its betting markets, resulting in hold rates north of 16.5% in both 2022 and 2023 – but that was cut nearly in half in 2024.

Illinois joined the Billion Dollar Club for monthly handle in October 2022 and hasn't looked back, recording 20 billion-dollar months as of December 2024.

Michigan sports betting overcame a dreadful finish to 2024 with one of its best months on record to kick off 2025. The 14.9% hold rate – likely due in large part to swaths of Lions fans betting and losing on the home team – was the highest of all-time, allowing the state to collect more than $4 million in taxes for just the second time in history.

Mississippi Sports Betting Revenue

Any hopes of a third straight year with double-digit hold rates were dashed emphatically in December, when Mississippi sports betting sites combined for a loss of nearly $900,000. That resulted in a second straight year of declining handle, gross revenue, hold rate and taxes. All is not well in the Mississippi sports betting world.

Montana Sports Betting Revenue

Now that's how you start a year. Montana sports betting kicked off 2025 with emphasis, establishing a single-month hold record to take some of the sting out of dreadful showings in October and December. January 2025's tax haul exceeded what Montana pulled in for all of 2024.

Nevada Sports Betting Revenue

U.S. sports wagering's O.G. might not be the only game in town anymore, but Nevada sports betting is still the gold standard. You won't find more market selection or competitive odds than with Nevada sports betting operators, and the consistently low hold percentage is further indication that Nevada-based sportsbooks are just better for players.

New Hampshire Sports Betting Revenue

Things are good for operators in the New Hampshire sports betting circle. After settling for a hum-drum 7.5% hold rate in 2022, that number shot up to 9.8% in 2023 and broke double digits in 2024 despite a rough summer. And that's a critical outcome for sports betting sites who face a staggering 51% tax rate on revenue in NH.

New Jersey Sports Betting Revenue

It should come as no surprise to see the state that spearheaded the quest to have PASPA repealed is also one of the most prolific when it comes to sports betting handle and revenue. New Jersey sports betting produced nearly $12.8 billion in action in 2024, up from just under $12 billion the year before. Operators pay 14.25% in tax, though lawmakers want to increase that to 30% as part of the latest state budget.

States That Will Legalize Sports Betting in 2025

At least one state will be adopting legal sports betting in 2025; others may follow, though that will depend on how each prospective state's legislative session goes. Here's a look at the state(s) that will be introducing legal sports wagering this year:

Missouri

States with Potential to Legalize Sports Betting

While more than three-quarters of all U.S. states have some form of legal sports wagering, there are still some notable holdouts. Here's a look at states that appear to have a path to legalized sports betting at some point in the future:

Future of US Sports Betting Revenue

What does the future hold for sports betting handles, revenues and hold percentages across the United States? Here are some factors that should pay a role in how these figures evolve:

More Legal States: Sports betting is now legal in 38 states and districts, with the majority of those welcoming business from the best sports betting apps. And while there aren't any states presently on the verge of joining the mix, it's quite possible that we could see further legalization in late 2024 or 2025, thereby increasing overall revenue potential.

Available Betting Markets: Developments here could have a dramatic positive or negative impact on sportsbooks' earning potential. While betting sites are constantly introducing new betting markets across a variety of sports, some – most notably, college player props – are being removed by legislators due to ongoing issues with player harassment.

More Betting Options: With Phase 1 of the U.S. sports betting maturity process (initial player acquisition and retention) essentially over, sports betting sites have now moved on to Phase 2: innovation. And both players and sportsbooks should reap the benefits here, between new ways to parlay picks, more niche sports coverage and a larger emphasis on microbetting.

Increased Notoriety: This is the biggest wild-card in the U.S. sports betting landscape. While we've seen positive examples of increased betting activity due to external factors (Taylor Swift, anyone?), a spate of controversial betting practices has cast a shadow over the industry, and further incidents are sure to adversely affect sports betting revenues.

Reduced Promo Spend: Access to many of the best sportsbook promos helped fuel a meteoric rise in sign-ups – but those days might be coming to an end. With only a handful of states yet to launch, and the majority of the best sports betting sites having curtailed their promotional spend, new customers might be tougher to pull in moving forward.

Glossary of Betting Market Terms

Handle: The "handle" refers to the total amount of money wagered by bettors on a particular event or series of events. It's a term commonly used in sports betting, horse racing, and other forms of gambling.

Gross Revenue: Gross revenue in sports betting refers to the total amount of money that a sportsbook or betting operator collects from bettors through wagers minus all winning bets. It represents the total revenue generated by the sportsbook before deducting expenses such as operating costs, taxes, and any other fees.

Hold: The "hold" refers to the percentage of the total wagers placed that the sportsbook keeps as profit after paying out winning bets. The hold is calculated by dividing the sportsbook's gross revenue (total amount of money collected from losing bets) by the total amount of money wagered.

Tickets: Also known as "receipts", tickets represent the total number of bets placed during a specific period or on a specific bet type or market. Bet amount is immaterial to ticket count.
