No separate sports-wagering tax; online (mobile) sports-wagering net revenue, run through the licensed casinos' mobile partners, is folded into the same tiered 13%/20% net-casino-gaming-receipts tax (see casino_commercial).

Same state-lottery-monopoly structure as sports_retail (mobile play is geofenced to licensed premises, not a standalone statewide product): no separate operator GGR tax; licensed host locations receive a 3% commission on gross sales, remainder to the State Lottery Fund.

Oregon
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.

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.

What states collect, FY2025

Census Bureau state tax collections on amusements and pari-mutuel wagering, where most states book casino, sports betting and video gaming taxes. Amusement taxes can include admissions taxes unrelated to gambling, and payments from tribes are not taxes, so they are not included.
