Potential for iGaming in Indiana’s Future
A report published in January claimed that Indiana could create up to $2.1 billion in iGaming revenue within the first three years after legalization. Commissioned by the Indiana Gaming Commission and carried out by Spectrum Group, the report predicted between $1.9 billion and $2.1 billion in revenue together with a possible $929 million in iGaming tax revenue during the same period.
There have been many discussions regarding iGaming in Indiana and the latest efforts came to an end in committee in 2023. There have long been worries that the online industry would damage the land industry, but a separate report from Spectrum Group found that iGaming has not damaged the land industry in other states.
