How Much Did Massachusetts Sports Betting Make in August?

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported approximately $47.09 million in taxable sports wagering revenue (TSWR) for August.

The state's three Category 1 sports wagering operators are Encore Boston Harbor, MGM Springfield, and Plainridge Park Casino. Each operates a retail sportsbook at its property, with Category 1 operators subject to a 15% tax on TSWR.

The seven Category 3 operators are Bally Bet, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings, Fanatics, FanDuel, and theScore Bet. These operators offer mobile and online sportsbooks, including the Mass betting apps available to customers in the state, and are subject to a 20% tax on TSWR.

The MGC also reported approximately $101.92 million in gross gaming revenue from Massachusetts' three casinos in August. That figure comes from casino gaming and is separate from the state's sports wagering revenue.
