Indiana betting revenue shows huge increase in November 2025
The Indiana Gaming Commission reported that sportsbooks generated $69.1 million in revenue in November 2025, a 57.3% increase from October 2025.
Revenue remained mostly stable on a year-on-year basis, with November 2025 reporting a 0.7% increase compared with November 2024’s $68.6 million.
Users placed around $614 million in bets during November 2025, surpassing October 2025’s $538 million record by 14.2%.
Improved operator performance could be the reason behind the strong monthly increases; however, year-on-year statistics show that the market is steadily maturing, despite short-term fluctuations.
FanDuel online sportsbook had the highest monthly handle of $215 million, while DraftKings came in second with $207 million.
Betting handle also rose from $611.6 million in October 2025 to $640.99 million in November 2025, a 4.3% month-on-month increase.
The rise in revenue was followed by higher tax contributions, as sports betting generated $6.5 million in tax receipts in November 2025. Added to the $22.4 million in tax revenue accumulated during the first five months of 2025, Indiana already marks being $1.7 million ahead of 2024’s pace.
