Florida commercial gaming venues generated $72.8 million in revenue in June, according to Gaming Intelligence’s Week 33 North America review. The same roundup also showed regulators, city officials and courts taking a harder look at prediction market platforms in multiple U.S. jurisdictions.
For Florida readers, the main takeaway is straightforward: the state’s commercial gaming revenue was down in June, while the broader U.S. gambling landscape remains in flux as prediction markets face fresh legal and compliance pressure.
Florida revenue appears in a wider state-by-state gambling snapshot
Gaming Intelligence’s weekly roundup compiled revenue and handle updates from several North American markets, with Florida listed at $72.8 million in commercial gaming revenue for June.
Elsewhere, the report showed New York mobile sports wagers rising to $1.88 billion in July, Maryland sports wagers reaching $496.4 million, and Iowa posting $182.9 million in July sports wagers alongside $136.1 million in land-based casino revenue. Michigan’s three Detroit commercial casinos reported combined land-based gaming and retail sports betting revenue of $112.6 million in July, while Illinois’ 17 land-based casinos reported $192.7 million.
The review also highlighted broader industry scale in the U.S., including record tribal gaming revenue of $46.16 billion in 2025, up 5 per cent, across 545 operations in 29 states.
Kalshi and Polymarket face more pressure from officials and regulators
A major thread in the report was the expanding scrutiny of prediction markets.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott and the City Council of Baltimore filed lawsuits against Kalshi and Polymarket over illegal sports betting, while the New York City Council opened an investigation into the marketing and advertising practices of four leading prediction market platforms.
In Tennessee, the Sports Wagering Council pushed three unlicensed sports gaming operators out of the state after sending cease-and-desist notices. At the federal level, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission ordered Kalshi to continue operating in New York after the company notified the Commission of legal action by the state.
At the same time, a federal judge in Connecticut ruled against Kalshi in its effort to stop state regulators from enforcing gambling laws against the platform. The CFTC also directed regulated prediction market platforms to stop presenting contracts using American-style gambling odds. Separately, Kalshi said it is strengthening trade monitoring through a partnership with Nasdaq Market Surveillance.
What to watch
The source roundup does not point to any new Florida-specific policy change tied to the June revenue figure. But for players and industry watchers, the broader regulatory push on prediction markets is worth following, especially as the line between regulated trading products and sports-betting-style offerings remains under legal challenge in several states.
As always, anyone taking part in legal gambling products should do so responsibly and keep an eye on official state and operator updates.
