Wyoming reports $16.9 million in May sports wagers
Wyoming’s online-only sports betting market posted a statewide handle at $16.9 million for May.
Wyoming’s modest sports betting market, characterized by low wagering volume but strong operator margins, has generated $479,230 in tax revenue from January through May 2026. Bettors placed just $78.9 million in total wagers last year, yet the state collected 10% of the $7.94 million in gross gaming revenue (GGR).
In just three full years of operation, Wyoming’s annual handle more than quadrupled, while GGR and tax revenue have climbed steadily.

The entry of major operators, including BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, and Fanatics Sportsbook, has expanded betting options for residents and fueled market expansion
