It’s been one year since sports betting became legal in Indiana. In the first 12 months, Indiana generated more than a billion dollars in wagers, which resulted in $9 million in state tax revenue, according to PlayIndiana.com. That’s lower than what was expected, but it’s due to the coronavirus pandemic and the sports world shutting down for several months. However, with baseball, basketball and hockey, last month showed that the state is getting back on track, as Indiana’s online and retail sportsbooks generated $169 million in wagers in August — the third-largest monthly total.
