100 Online Sports Betting Statistics for 2026

Before comparing markets, ask what each number measures. Money staked, revenue retained, active accounts and public receipts answer different questions. These selected statistics preserve the original reporting period and the source's market boundary.

Use the linked primary documents to examine the tables. The selection covers verified markets and categories; it is not a census of every country or US state. Missing coverage does not mean activity is zero.

How large are regulated US betting markets?

Annual totals are useful only when their accounting boundaries stay visible. Stakes, operator win and adjusted receipts describe different parts of the same market.

How do mobile revenue and adjusted receipts differ?

  • New Jersey, 2025: Online sportsbook revenue increased 8.2% year over year. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • Nevada, 2025: Mobile sports win: $400,480,000. (Nevada GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Nevada, 2025: Mobile sports win increased 40.10%. (Nevada GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Nevada, 2025: Mobile sports win percentage: 6.97%. (Nevada GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Michigan, 2025: Internet sports betting adjusted receipts: $435.9 million. (Michigan GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Michigan, 2025: Internet sports betting handle: $5.4 billion. (Michigan GCB, Jan 2026)

Nevada reports mobile win, whereas Michigan also publishes adjusted receipts. These fields should not be treated as identical profit measures. The distinction counts before comparing growth across jurisdictions: adjustments can change the revenue base without an equivalent change in customer wagering. A win percentage also answers a different question from an absolute dollar total.

What do New York and North Carolina measure about stakes?

New York averages refer to betting accounts and wagers, not residents. North Carolina separates paid and promotional stakes. Its total wagering figure therefore cannot be described as entirely customer-funded betting. Keep these denominators intact when discussing spending, and do not infer unique bettors from an account-level average.

How do public receipts relate to market activity?

  • Michigan, 2025: State sports betting taxes and fees: $27.1 million. (Michigan GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Pennsylvania, 2025: Sports wagering revenue increased 17.97%. Both channels. (PGCB, Jan 2026)
  • Pennsylvania, 2025: Sports wagering handle: $8.8 billion. Both channels. (PGCB, Jan 2026)
  • Iowa, FY2026: Sports wagering operational revenue: $284.45 million. Both channels. (Iowa RGC, Jul 2026)
  • Iowa, FY2026: State sports wagering taxes: $19.19 million. Both channels. (Iowa RGC, Jul 2026)
  • North Carolina, FY2026: Estimated mobile wagering tax proceeds: $143,055,213. (NC Lottery Commission, Jul 2026)

Tax receipts and operator revenue are separate accounting measures. North Carolina labels its tax proceeds as estimated, while the state releases use different fiscal and calendar periods. These observations should retain those distinctions in any comparison. A tax amount cannot establish the profitability of the operators that generated it.

What do monthly state reports reveal?

Monthly reporting exposes accounting details that annual headlines can hide. It also makes channel boundaries and promotional deductions particularly important.

How does Maryland distinguish hold from taxable win?

Maryland reports each step separately. Taxable win is not synonymous with hold, and promotional wagers should not be described as cash stakes. These are mobile rows from one reporting month.

What does North Carolina report for June?

These preliminary operator-reported amounts may be revised. The estimated tax column is not a statement of final collections. Paid and promotional wagers remain distinct inputs to the reported total.

How do other monthly reports define their revenue?

  • Michigan, December 2025: Internet sports betting gross receipts: $84.0 million. (Michigan GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Michigan, December 2025: Internet sports betting adjusted receipts: $61.13 million. (Michigan GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Michigan, December 2025: Internet sports betting handle: $512.9 million. (Michigan GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Pennsylvania, December 2025: Online sports wagering revenue: $80,377,595. (PGCB, Jan 2026)
  • Massachusetts, December 2025: Taxable sports wagering revenue: approximately $98.47 million. Both channels. (Massachusetts GC, Jan 2026)
  • Nevada, December 2025: Mobile sports win: $42,580,000. (Nevada GCB, Jan 2026)

Michigan separates gross and adjusted receipts, Pennsylvania isolates online revenue, and Massachusetts combines wagering channels in the cited taxable total. These differences prevent a simple ranking based on the dollar amounts alone. Compare the same month and accounting concept before interpreting a higher result as stronger demand.

Which sports and formats attract wagers?

Sport tables can answer useful questions, but they do not all measure the same channel. New York allocates parlay components to sports; New Jersey and Nevada combine retail and online sport activity.

What do football, basketball, baseball and tennis figures measure?

  • Both channels. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • New Jersey, 2025: Basketball completed-event stakes: $2,720,796,818. Both channels. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • New Jersey, 2025: Baseball completed-event stakes: $1,304,114,911. Both channels. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • France, 2025: Football online stakes: €6.320 billion. (ANJ, Apr 2026)
  • France, 2025: Tennis online stakes: €2.650 billion. (ANJ, Apr 2026)
  • France, 2025: Champions League stakes increased 48.6% in calendar 2025 versus 2024. (ANJ, Oct 2026)

New Jersey, 2025: Football completed-event stakes: $1,819,720,110. The New Jersey observations describe completed-event stakes across channels. The French observations describe online betting. Football also refers to different codes in these reports: the American category and association football must remain distinct. The Champions League observation concerns a competition, so it is not an additional sport total that can be added to football.

What does New York's mobile sport table show?

New York, 2025: Basketball mobile stakes: $9,130,071,000. These categories include allocated components of parlays. They are not single-bet totals and cannot be compared with a singles-only table without adjustment. The category values describe wagering accepted in New York, instead of the popularity of each sport throughout the United States.

How do parlay measures differ from sportsbook win?

  • Both channels. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • New Jersey, 2025: Parlay completed-event hold: 19.2%. Both channels. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • Nevada, 2025: Football sports-pool win: $203,537,000. Both channels. (Nevada GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Nevada, 2025: Basketball sports-pool win: $144,854,000. Both channels. (Nevada GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Nevada, 2025: Parlay-card win: $6,112,000. Both channels. (Nevada GCB, Jan 2026)
  • Nevada, 2025: Parlay-card win percentage: 32.59%. Both channels. (Nevada GCB, Jan 2026)

New Jersey, 2025: Parlay completed-event stakes: $3,942,097,119. Parlay stakes, category hold and sports-pool win are different measures. Nevada's parlay-card category is not interchangeable with every multi-leg online product. The reported win percentages describe realized outcomes during the period; they are not guaranteed margins for an operator or the expected result of an individual wager.

How do European betting markets compare?

European reports preserve different product and channel boundaries. A useful comparison starts with those definitions, instead of treating every revenue total as a harmonised market estimate.

What do France's revenue and account metrics show?

  • France, 2025: Online sports stakes: €11.517 billion. (ANJ, Apr 2026)
  • France, 2025: Online sports GGR increased 10.4%. (ANJ, Apr 2026)
  • France, 2025: Online sports stakes increased 12.0%. (ANJ, Apr 2026)
  • France, 2025: Annual stakes per active account: €2,186. (ANJ, Apr 2026)
  • France, 2025: Annual sports GGR per active account: €335. (ANJ, Apr 2026)

France publishes separate turnover, revenue and active-account measures. The account average is not an average across the entire population, and revenue per account is not equivalent to stakes per account. Both growth figures relate to their own stated measure. Retain this distinction when describing how much activity grew and how much operators retained from it. The source provides related measures instead of interchangeable estimates.

What do Spanish, British and Danish figures describe?

  • Spain, 2025 Q3: Online betting GGR: €149.50 million. (DGOJ, Dec 2025)
  • Spain, 2025 Q3: Online betting GGR increased 10.00% year over year. (DGOJ, Dec 2025)
  • Spain, 2025 Q3: Live betting GGR increased 32.82% quarter over quarter. (DGOJ, Dec 2025)
  • Spain, 2025 Q3: Active betting licence holders: 44. (DGOJ, Dec 2025)
  • Great Britain, April 2025–March 2026: Remote horse-racing GGY: £769.3 million. (UK Gambling Commission, Sep 2026)
  • Denmark, 2025: Betting GGR declined 11.5%. Both channels. (Danish Gambling Authority, Jun 2026)

Spain's quarterly report and Britain's financial-year series cover different periods. Live-betting growth is a product observation, instead of an additional national total. Denmark's report also uses its own reporting boundary. A cross-country table should retain both the time period and the source's revenue definition instead of silently treating these measures as equivalent.

What do channel shares, stakes and player counts add?

  • Both channels. (Danish Gambling Authority, Jun 2026)
  • Denmark, 2025: Mobile share of betting GGR: 71%. Both channels. (Danish Gambling Authority, Jun 2026)
  • Denmark, 2025: Retail share of betting GGR: 13%. Both channels. (Danish Gambling Authority, Jun 2026)
  • Germany, 2026 Q2: Online sports stakes: €1,711 million. (GGL, Aug 2026)
  • Germany, 2026 Q2: Internet horse-betting stakes: €28 million. (GGL, Aug 2026)
  • Norway, 2025: Norsk Tipping sports-game active players: 652,652. Single operator; both channels. (Norsk Tipping, Apr 2026)

Denmark, 2025: Average betting RTP: 89.7%. Denmark's channel shares relate to betting revenue, while Germany reports money staked. Norway's player figure belongs to Norsk Tipping alone and is not a national census. These observations add context to their own markets; they should not be summed or used as substitutes for a common participation measure.

How is activity distributed across operators?

Local operator tables describe a jurisdiction's licensed market. They do not represent global company turnover or establish that accounts belong to different people.

How do the largest cited New Jersey brands compare?

  • New Jersey, 2025: FanDuel online sportsbook revenue: $470,056,945. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • New Jersey, 2025: DraftKings online sportsbook revenue: $325,315,701. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • New Jersey, 2025: BetMGM online sportsbook revenue: $85,836,970. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)

Each brand figure comes from the same annual internet-sportsbook table, making the reporting period and channel consistent within this comparison. The values are local operator revenue, not global company sales. They also do not reveal the number of customers shared across brands. The source table is the appropriate reference for checking the brand names and licensing presentation used in that jurisdiction. A comparison with a different state would require checking whether its report groups operators by licence, brand or corporate ownership before interpreting differences.

What do other brands and procurement counts show?

  • New Jersey, 2025: BetFanatics online sportsbook revenue: $82,884,868. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • New Jersey, 2025: Bet365 online sportsbook revenue: $64,595,767. (NJ DGE, Jan 2026)
  • Iowa, June 2026: State-licensed online sports betting entities: ten. (Iowa RGC, Jul 2026)
  • Rhode Island, As reported April 2026: Providers bidding for the incremental sports-wagering contract: two. Procurement. (Rhode Island Lottery, Apr 2026)

Revenue, licensed-entity counts and procurement responses answer different questions. The Rhode Island number records bids for a contract, not operating sportsbooks or customer accounts. Iowa's count describes its reported licensed entities in the stated month. Neither count should be used to infer market concentration without a matching distribution of wagering or revenue. They describe administrative arrangements at specific reporting points.

What do account activity and surveys reveal?

Operator records and population surveys answer different questions. A sampled active account is not a representative respondent, and neither should be silently converted into a count of unique national bettors.

What did the British operator sample record?

These observations come from the Gambling Commission's operator sample, instead of its complete annual industry series. Active accounts can overlap between products and operators. Bets and yield also measure different aspects of activity. They should not be combined into an estimate of unique people, or compared directly with full-market totals without explaining the difference in coverage.

What does the Australian survey say about participation?

  • Online-gambler survey. (ACMA, Feb 2026)
  • Australia, Six months to June 2025: Race betting participation among male online gamblers: 21%. Online-gambler survey. (ACMA, Feb 2026)
  • Australia, Six months to June 2025: Race betting participation among female online gamblers: 14%. Online-gambler survey. (ACMA, Feb 2026)

Australia, Six months to June 2025: Sports betting participation among female online gamblers: 12%. The denominator here is people who gambled online, separated by the reported gender groups. It is not all Australian adults. The responses describe participation during the survey reference period, not daily betting or expenditure. Sports and race betting are separate survey categories, and an individual may participate in more than one category. A participation percentage therefore cannot establish the amount wagered.

Methodology and sources

Every figure on this page comes from the organisation that produced it: regulators, statistics offices, public bodies, research institutes, and companies reporting their own data or surveys. Each one links to the original report or dataset and carries its release date. Survey results keep their population and fieldwork period, and financial figures keep the measure the producer used. Figures from different producers are not added together or ranked against each other. The page is reviewed monthly and updated when a producer releases newer data.
