The Indiana Gaming Commission announced its Feb. 2025 handle and revenue figures, revealing a 13.3 % decline in month-over-month sports wagering adjusted gross revenue (AGR). However, AGR increased by 25.7% yearly — from $37.9 million in Feb. 2024 to $47.7 million in Feb. 2025.

The overall sports betting handle reflects this trend: between January and February, handle declined 19.6 %, but increased 5.9% year-over-year, from $408.6 million to $432.8 million.

Basketball and parlays remain Indiana bettors’ preferred sports, generating $183.4 million and $137.4 million handles, respectively. 

Sportsbook handle and revenue comparisons

The revenue report breaks the overall handle and AGR into sportsbook and retail. Of the overall $47.7 million AGR, sportsbook operators generated $45.8 million. Operators’ total February handle was $405.8 — 19.2% less than January.

Despite generating a higher $150.4 million handle, DraftKings was not the highest-grossing book, producing $16.8 million in AGR compared to FanDuel’s $19.1 million. This is a long-standing dynamic between the two top-grossing Indiana sports betting sites and is visible for both month-over-month and year-over-year.

Due to making up such a large part of the state’s overall handle and revenue figures, sportsbook operators generally mirror the trend of the state’s betting market on a smaller, individual scale. All seven operators reported a month-over-month handle decline. However, Caesars and ESPN BET had minor AGR increases from $1.6 million to $1.9 million and $1 million to $1.2 million, respectively.

Reported figures vary year-over-year. DraftKings and FanDuel's numbers were steady, changing only a few percent from Feb. 2024 to Feb. 2025. bet365’s handle increased by 34.7%, while Fanatics Sportsbook’s rose by 299.8%, from $6.4 million in 2024 to $25.9 million in 2025. The respective AGRs reflect these changes. 

Operator February Handle February Revenue
DraftKings $150.4 million $16.8 million
FanDuel $133.4 million $19.1 million
BetMGM $29 million $2.8 million
bet365 $28.4 million $2.1 million
Fanatics Sportsbook $25.9 million $1.5 million
Caesars $25.2 million $1.9 million
ESPN BET $13.2 million $1.2 million
Total $405.8 million $45.8 million

Retail AGR comparisons

Retail casinos generated the remaining $27 million handle, with a corresponding $1.9 million in AGR. In February, Ameristar Casino became Indiana’s highest-grossing retail casino, reporting a $93,564 AGR and $623,444 handle.

Horseshoe Hammond, the highest-grossing retail casino in January, retained the largest retail casino haul at over $1.3 million.
