On Friday, the Indiana Gaming Commission released figures from October sports wagering, the first month that the state had online/mobile.
Total industry handle was $91,697,393, up from about $35 mm in September when there was just retail wagering. Online/mobile betting from the three platforms live last month was $48,014,320, or about 52% of the total. It didn’t even take a full month of online/mobile for that form of wagering to be the leader in the Hoosier State.

- BetRivers: $6,265,969
