SUPER BOWL LVII – BY THE NUMBERS.
A record 50.4 million American adults (20%) are expected to bet $16 billion on Super Bowl LVII, according to American Gaming Association (AGA) research. The expected number of bettors is a 61 percent increase from AGA’s 2022 estimates and the expected wagering total is more than double last year’s projections.
With the expansion of legal sports betting, traditional Super Bowl wagers are expected to pass casual wagers for the first time ever. 30 million American adults plan to place a traditional sports wager online, at a retail sportsbook or with a bookie (up 66% from 2022), while 28 million plan to bet casually with friends or as part of a pool or squares contest (up 50% from 2022).
Sports betting legalization is also driving fan interest in the NFL, as more than a third (34%) of NFL fans say that the expansion of legal sports betting has made watching an NFL game more exciting.
