Maine sports handle hits $450 million 

Maine sportsbooks processed $450.2 million,in total handle during the first nine months of 2026, generating $7,045,894.98 in taxable adjusted gross gaming revenue (AGGR) at an 11.64% hold, and producing over $170 million in state taxes due.

DraftKings generated the majority of wagering activity, accounting for most of the state’s sports betting handle.

Maine’s sports betting market is relatively small compared with larger states, but it remains stable with two major mobile sportsbooks operating statewide through tribal partnerships.

Sports betting in Maine operates primarily through mobile sportsbooks partnered with tribal gaming operators, while a small amount of retail wagering is also permitted.

Unlike open-license states such as Iowa or New Jersey, Maine’s framework restricts operator entry. As a result, handle growth tends to be incremental rather than explosive.
