Market Notes
- Handle and growth: Pennsylvania generated $8.86 billion in total sports betting handle for 2025 (up ~5.2% from 2024). The market remains one of the largest in the U.S. and continues solid performance into 2026, with strong peaks during NFL and college sports seasons.
- Market split: Mobile accounts for ~92–95% of total handle across 11–12 online skins. Retail sportsbooks at casinos and off-track betting parlors make up the remaining 5–8%.
- Hold and tax: Statewide hold averaged around 9–10% in 2025. Pennsylvania imposes the highest sports betting tax rate in the nation at 36% on gross revenue. This generated roughly $206–$220 million in state tax revenue for 2025, primarily directed to the general fund and property tax relief.
- Regulatory note: The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board continues strict oversight, with ongoing audits of promotional deductions and operator compliance. A proposed 5% promo cap rule is under final review. Enforcement against offshore operators remains active.
