Not a tax; this is the Lottery's commercial revenue split with its contracted mobile sportsbook operator. Under Section 11 of the Oregon Lottery-DraftKings contract, DraftKings receives 49% of net sports-wagering revenue and the Lottery (state) retains 51%; DraftKings' share could rise to 85-95% if the state's single-operator mobile model were opened to competition, per a 2023 legislative committee document, but no such change is confirmed as triggered.

New MexicoNot authorizedLimitedOct 16, 2018
No New Mexico statute specifically authorizes or taxes sports wagering; tribal casinos (e.g. Santa Ana Star Casino since Oct. 2018) offer retail sportsbooks on the theory that sports wagering is already a Class III gaming activity covered by their existing tribal- state compacts. Sports-wagering revenue is therefore not separately taxed: it falls within the same compact-based "Adjusted Net Win" revenue-sharing schedule already recorded under casino_tribal (see the tiered rows citing the Pueblo of Jemez 2015 compact), not a standalone sports-wagering tax. OTHER (retail)
North DakotaNot authorizedLimitedDec 1, 2021
No North Dakota state tax applies. Tribal retail sportsbooks (Dakota Magic, Spirit Lake, Sky Dancer, 4 Bears) operate as an amenity under each tribe's existing IGRA Class III tribal-state gaming compact rather than under any state sports-wagering statute; compact texts are held by the Governor's Office and not independently reviewed in this file, but no state statute imposes a tax or revenue-sharing requirement on sports wagering specifically, and the state's 2022 request for exclusive tribal sports-betting rights (and the HCR 3002 legislative route) did not result in any enacted tax.

WashingtonLimitedLimitedDec 9, 2021
Same tribal-compact structure as sports_retail above; mobile sports wagering is likewise confined to tribal lands/apps under the same 2020-2021 compact amendments, with no separate state revenue-share tax mechanism identified. OTHER (online)
WisconsinLegal, not launchedLiveNov 1, 2021
No separate state sports-wagering tax. Retail sports wagering operates under individually negotiated tribal-state Class III compact amendments (Wis. Stat. § 945.01(1)(b)6); tribes already share a percentage of overall casino net win with the state under their general compacts, commonly reported as roughly 1.75% to 6.5% depending on the tribe/compact, and sports-wagering revenue simply adds to that general net-win base rather than carrying its own rate. In the first such deal (Oneida Nation, 2021), the state confirmed the sports-wagering amendment did not require an increased payment rate, though the state's overall dollar take rises if tribal sports-wagering revenue is added to net win.
