US sweepstakes demand peaked in July as its share hit a 2026 high in Q3
The market-share high came later than the search high.
Demand for US sweepstakes casinos peaked in July on Blask Index. The segment’s share of combined Blask Index — traditional brands, prediction markets, and sweepstakes — reached its highest point of the year in Q3.
After a low in May, demand rose 19.5% to a July peak and then fell 9.2% by September, a month that remained above the low.
Compared with Q2, the sweepstakes share of combined Blask Index rose by 8.6 percentage points in Q3 and reached its highest reading of the year. Prediction-market search fell by more than half from July to August, so the increase arrived while sweepstakes demand was already off its peak.
Among sweepstakes brands, Crown Coins led the quarter, and the full order is in a Blask ranking of Q3.
