TwinSpires typically ranks as the country\u2019s top ADW horse racing platform. According to data from the Oregon Racing Commission, which has tracked data since 2013, TwinSpires has been the No. 1 platform based on handle every year except for 2020. Last year, Flutter-owned TVG eclipsed it by less than $9.5 million. In 2020, TVG took in $2.46 billion in bets, compared to $2.45 billion.<\/p>\n
The figures for 2021 are not yet complete. However, through the first three quarters, TwinSpires has reclaimed the top spot, but by a narrow margin. Its $1.91 billion handle is about $51.6 million more than TVG.<\/p>\n

Not all states report handle and revenue totals by operator. Of those that do, TwinSpires typically ranks at the lower end of sportsbooks in those states.<\/p>\n
