The Indiana gambling market sees an increase in handle for both its casino and sports betting markets in May. Retail and online betting and casino gaming are continuing to grow in activity over the past few months. Online gambling software continues to be the top source for betting action in the state, showing a continuous growth in the online sports betting industry.
The Hoosier state is growing to be one of the biggest sports betting markets in the country, and its retail casinos are also showing a significant increase in handle. Currently, however, Indiana does not have a regulated online casino market, and is limited to sports betting only. If you will start an online gambling business, it would be wise to consider adding an online casino, something most pay per head providers offer.
