Wyoming sports betting revenue falls 15 percent in October

Wyoming’s online sportsbooks collected $1.9 million in revenue in October, the Wyoming Gaming Commission has reported,  marking a 15.2 percent decline from $2.3 million last October.

Still, Wyoming bettors spent more this October. Handle reached $24.5 million, up 15.1 percent from $21.2 million in October 2023. Sports handle rose around 6.9 percent from September, but revenue fell even more significantly month-on-month. Compared to almost $3 million in September, sportsbooks reported a 34.7 percent revenue drop.

The state’s five online sportsbooks collectively paid more than $95,000 in taxes in October. Wyoming applies a 10 percent tax rate on taxable gaming revenue.

The report also highlights results from historic horse race betting. HHR handle reached $184.4 million in October, a 23.5 percent year-over-year increase.
