Market Notes
- Handle and growth: Puerto Rico’s sports betting market continues to expand rapidly. Handle has grown significantly since major operators launched mobile platforms, though exact full-year 2025 figures are not publicly detailed. Growth has been driven by new online launches, retail expansions, and strong local interest in basketball, baseball, and boxing.
- Market split: Mobile now accounts for the majority of handle across the main apps. Retail betting remains active at over a dozen casino locations and satellite spots across the island (e.g., Casino del Mar, Casino Metro, Foxwoods El San Juan).
- Hold and tax: Operators pay 12% tax on online gross gaming revenue and 7% on retail. Taxes are directed to the general fund, tourism promotion, and responsible gaming programs. Public reporting of hold percentages and monthly revenue remains limited.
- Regulatory note: The Puerto Rico Gaming Commission requires in-person registration at a partnered casino for all mobile accounts. DraftKings launched its online sportsbook in February 2026 (following its retail opening in late 2025), joining BetMGM, Caesars, and FanDuel. Enforcement against offshore operators continues, and the market is maturing with additional retail and online growth.
