Ahead of this weekend’s Super Bowl, a Route Fifty analysis shows the states where income from sports gambling was the highest.
A record 50.4 million adults in the U.S.—roughly 20% of the population—are expected to bet $16 billion on the Super Bowl this Sunday, according to an annual survey from the American Gaming Association.
The Super Bowl is increasingly a big deal for states, and that’s because many of them stand to make money off of it.
In 2022, 27 states brought in a combined $1.5 billion from sports betting. Three of those states raked in more than $100 million in revenue: New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois.
