Market Notes
- Handle and growth: Kansas generated $2.85 billion in total sports betting handle for 2025 (up ~12% from 2024). Early 2026 volumes have been solid but seasonal, with typical post-NFL slowdowns. The market continues steady growth in a competitive but limited-operator environment.
- Market split: Mobile accounts for ~95%+ of handle across 7 online skins. Retail makes up the remaining 5% at the four state casinos (Boot Hill, Kansas Star, Kansas Crossing, Hollywood at Kansas Speedway).
- Hold and tax: Statewide hold averaged 6.8–7.5% in 2025. Operators pay 10% tax on adjusted gross revenue. This generated approximately $19.4 million in tax revenue for 2025, directed to the Sports Wagering Fund and general revenue.
- Regulatory note: The Kansas Lottery oversees the market. The Sac and Fox Nation launched its tribal hub-and-spoke mobile platform in late 2025, adding potential new competition. A legislative moratorium on new operator contracts is in place through mid-2026, with ongoing discussions about possible tax rate increases ahead of 2027 license renewals.
