Massachusetts sports betting handle fell slightly in April, but operators still posted one of their strongest revenue months of 2026.
Good to Know
Massachusetts sportsbooks did not need a bigger betting total to post a major April result. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported $678.4M in handle, the third straight month below $700M after five months above that level.
Even so, revenue climbed fast. Online and retail operators combined for $83.4M in profit, just behind the $84M recorded in January. A 12.3% hold drove the result, well above the 9.8% win rate from April 2025 and the best Massachusetts figure since last May.
April gave operators plenty of chances to win. The month included the Final Four, the start of the NBA and NHL playoffs, the first full month of MLB and the Masters. Together with March revenue of $67.6M, Massachusetts sportsbooks won $151M across two months, up 24% from the same span last year.
Online books handled almost all betting activity, taking $670.6M and keeping 12.31%. Retail sportsbooks took $7.7M and held 11.2%.
DraftKings again sat far ahead of the field. The operator took $335.1M in online wagers and won $44M, giving it at least $33M in gross revenue in every month so far in 2026. FanDuel followed with $22.5M from $167.7M in handle and a stronger 13.4% hold.
Fanatics Sportsbook handled $70.8M and won $6.6M, while BetMGM took $50M in bets and kept $5.6M. Caesars generated $1.4M from $24M in handle, and theScore Bet won $2M from $18.4M. Bally Bet also kept 10.55% from $4.6M in wagers.
The state also saw a tax lift. April adjusted revenue of $81.8M generated $16.3M in tax, taking Massachusetts sports betting tax revenue above $60M for the year.
