46% of current sports bettors in newly legalized states report that legalization has led to an increase in sports betting frequency.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans support legalizing sports betting in their state.

63% of Americans support the Supreme Court’s ruling that struck down the sports betting ban.

The AGA has conducted what we believe to be the largest and most comprehensive survey of consumer sports betting behavior to date. That research, “Current and Future Sports Betting Behavior Post-PASPA,” was designed to shed light on Americans’ knowledge and opinions of sports betting and to gain insight into the behaviors, preferences and expectations of current and potential sports bettors.
Among the findings:
39% of adult Americans – about 100 million people – are either current or potential future sports bettors.
There is widespread uncertainty concerning the current legal landscape. In states where casino sports betting is legal, only 56% are aware that it is. Only 41% of Americans know that placing a bet with a bookie is illegal.
46% of current sports bettors in newly legalized states report that legalization has led to an increase in sports betting frequency.
63% of current sports bettors say they would either replace or use a different credit card if their payment card is not allowed to be used for sports betting.
The ability to place a sports bet securely is the most important factor when consumers consider future sports bets.
Two-thirds of current sports bettors are at least somewhat familiar with esports.
The complete research is available to AGA members.
An overwhelming majority of Americans support the Supreme Court’s ruling that struck down the sports betting ban, according to a national survey of registered voters. They are also strongly in favor of legalizing sports betting in their state, according to a national survey of registered voters.
Key findings from the survey include:
Nearly 8 in 10 Americans support legalizing sports betting in their state.
63% of Americans support the Supreme Court’s ruling that struck down the sports betting ban.
2 in 3 people believe sports betting is best regulated by states and sovereign tribal governments.
The majority of people oppose the idea leagues getting a cut of wagers on sports, with less than 1 in 4 being in favor.
Legalizing sports betting won’t just bring the law in line with American attitudes and desires – it will also deliver powerful economic benefits, possibly generating $8 billion in local taxes, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, and adding $22.4 billion to the gross domestic product, according to new a comprehensive study on the economic impact of a legalized U.S. sports betting market.
Using a Convenient Availability-Base Tax Rate Scenario, key takeaways include:
Total economic output, representing sales of businesses in the US, is expected to be $41.2 billion.
Legal sports betting operations, including wages, salaries, benefits and tips, are expected to support $11.0 billion of total labor income.
Total jobs supported, both direct, indirect and induced, is expected to be 216,671.
Legal sports betting is expected to contribute $22.4 billion to US gross domestic product.
Fiscal impacts, consisting of state, local and federal tax impacts, are expected to total $8.4 billion.
