Oregon Lottery reports $68.3 million in February revenue

Sports Betting

Oregon’s sports betting market continues to surge, both in terms of dollars wagered and the number of people placing bets, sports betting in Oregon increased by 1% in February to $68.3 million.

Oregonians wagered more than $565 million on sports betting during the last fiscal year. That’s more than all the money spent on Powerball, Mega Millions, Keno and Scratch-it tickets combined. Bettors wagered an average of $5,603 total during the previous fiscal year, according to Oregon Lottery data.

Sports betting in Oregon has seen tremendous rise since it first became legal in 2019. As the industry has become legal across the country, other states have reported similar spikes in interest.

The number of sports betting options in Oregon is still small compared to other states. Bettors still can only use DraftKings on a mobile platform, or bet at tribal casinos. The state doesn’t have in-person sportsbooks found elsewhere. Oregon’s exclusively digital sportsbook is not common compared to other states.
