New Hampshire sportsbooks accepted $66.3 million in wagers during August 2026, generated $7,738,559 in gross gaming revenue, and remitted $3,320,812 in tax to the New Hampshire Lottery Commission, according to figures published by the regulator.

The headline shift was channel mix: online handle climbed to $56,710,052 (94.34% of all bets), while retail handle fell to $4,604,478 – down 35.55% from August 2025 and 39.24% August March 2024.

New Hampshire operates under a single-operator model, with DraftKings holding the exclusive online and retail sports wagering license through June 30, 2028 following a two-year contract extension exercised by the Lottery Commission in February 2026.

Because the same operator runs both channels, the two-year shift in the channel mix reflects bettor behaviour within one platform rather than competitive substitution between brands – making New Hampshire one of the cleanest data sets in the country for tracking the structural decline of retail sportsbook volume.
