After May 2018, Delaware and New Jersey were quick to open up their sports betting markets and show the rest of the states that there was a very lucrative sports betting market waiting to tap into.
It has now been over 3 years since the landmark supreme court ruling in favor of New Jersey. Since 2018, several states have permitted sports betting and some have even given online sports betting the nod. Huge brands like DraftKings and FanDuel have capitalized on such decisions and become multi-billion-dollar entities. How is sports betting being regulated? Where can you legally bet on sports in the US? What does the online sports betting market look like in the US? These are some of the types of questions that we are going to be delving into today.
Which States Have Legalized Sports Betting?
The legal status of sports betting in various US states is constantly evolving. The information below is current as of the time of writing (Dec 2021) and is subject to change with the changing face of the US sports betting market. Some of the prominent 'live and legal' states are - Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire, Montana, Illinois, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Colorado, Tennessee, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Mississippi and Washington D.C. Some of the prominent 'illegal' states that have denied even the possibility of legalizing sports betting (where no sports betting bill has been drafted at all) are - Wisconsin, Idaho and Utah.
Sports betting legislation did not get as much attention as it should have in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic brought things to a standstill and forced state governments to focus their attention on more pressing matters which included limiting the spread of the coronavirus and looking for ways to ease the financial impact caused by the extended lockdown.
During the first quarter of 2021, there are a total of 20 states that have legalized sports betting. The states that have legalized sports betting include Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire, Montana, Illinois, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Colorado, Tennessee, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Mississippi and Washington D.C.
While 20 states (as of early 2021) have legalized sports betting, a number of states have also introduced a sports betting bill that has passed. As of this writing, we find that 6 states have passed a legalized sports betting bill.
Number of Active Sports Betting States
Number of US States where sports betting is live and legal - 36 States + Washington DC
Number of US States where sports betting has attained legal status but no facilities are operational yet - 5 states
Number of States where active or pre-filled legislation is in the pipeline in favor of legalization of sports betting - 2 states
Number of Inactive Sports Betting States
Number of US States with no legislation addressing sports betting - 5 states
Number of US States with dead legislation around sports betting - 11 states
Which States Don't Have Legalized Sports Betting?
While the number of states moving towards legalized sports betting continues to increase with each passing year, some states are still rigid and don't believe that they should legalize sports betting.
The situation is interesting because you will also find a few states that are keen on passing legislation to legalize sports betting but a number of conflicting interests prevent these bills from passing. One of the major hurdles to passing sports betting legislation in a state like California is that there is stiff opposition from tribal casino operators.
As many as 22 states have introduced sports betting legalization but the same has not been passed. Some of these states are not too far away from reaching an agreement and moving towards legalizing sports betting but some states have too many hurdles to cross.
These states will have to continue to make amendments to their sports betting bills and work with different stakeholders to get to a place of mutual agreement for these sports betting bills to pass.
The 22 states that have introduced sports betting bills which have not passed include Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Virginia, Maryland, Wyoming, Connecticut, Ohio, Nebraska, California, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Arizona, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Florida, Hawaii and Texas.
Only 3 states have refused to consider the possibility of sports betting and no sports betting bill has been introduced till date. The three states are Wisconsin, Idaho and Utah.

The remaining 6 states that have already brought in over $1 billion in combined sports betting handles include New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nevada and Pennsylvania. The combined sports betting handle across all states till date is over $43 billion.

Below is a brief description of the terms Handle, Revenue, Hold Recent and Taxes/State Revenue for you to better comprehend the tables that we have included for each legal state in the following sections.
Sports Betting in the State of Nevada
Since 1949, land-based sports betting has been permitted in the state of Nevada in the United States. Nevada was given a legal monopoly on single-game betting in the United States when Congress approved the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in 1992. This meant that collegiate sports betting, MLB sports betting, NBA sports betting, and live and off-track horse betting were all legal in the state for decades. Although sports betting is now permitted in other states in the United States, Nevada still accounts for a significant share of the overall sports betting income. Nevada's total income from sports betting was 48.31 million dollars in October 2021, down from 54.21 million the previous month.
In 2020, the overall win amount of sports betting in Nevada, the United States, was around 263 million dollars. This is a 20% reduction from the previous year. The entire money gained from gamblers is referred to as the win amount.
In 2020, there were 148 sports books in Nevada, down from 191 the previous year. The city's number of sports books has varied over the last decade, peaking in 2015.
The Super Bowl pits the champions of the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC) against one other at the end of the NFL season. Betting on the Super Bowl has been permitted in a number of jurisdictions, and it has grown in popularity as more legal internet sportsbooks have been available. In Nevada's sports books in 2021, about 136 million dollars was gambled on the Super Bowl. In 2018, the amount of money gambled on the Super Bowl reached an all-time high.
With a 6.75 percent tax rate, Nevada has one of the lowest tax rates in the country.
Since June 2018, when the first sportsbooks opened in other states, here's a snapshot at Nevada's sports betting handle and income.
| Handle | Revenue | Hold% | State Tax |

| $18,723,530,831 | $1,143,523,000 | 6.11% | $77,187,803 |
Sports Betting in the State of New York
Upstate casinos in New York began offering sports betting in July of this year. Although all four commercial facilities, as well as a few tribal casinos, have sportsbooks, the current legislation does not allow for statewide online/mobile wagering.

Because of the coronavirus outbreak, New York casinos were closed from March to September 9.

Covid-19 Has Pushed Sports Betting Legalization
While COVID-19 turned out to be a huge problem for most states in America, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the sports betting market. When the land-based casino industry and retail sportsbooks shutdown in 2020 due to the lockdown measures, punters were forced to go online to get their sports betting action.
A number of online and mobile sportsbooks confirmed an increase in player traffic and an uptick in new subscribers during 2020. While land-based sports betting revenues declined for these sportsbooks, their online betting revenues increased significantly which offset their losses.
Multiple states that were closed to sports betting legislation and those that were sitting on the fence were forced to consider sports betting legalization seriously in 2021. This was because state governments realized that they needed to do something after the COVID-19 impact and create more jobs and get more money flowing into the economy as well as the state coffers.
The sports betting market continues to be a lucrative industry in the United States and states are now keen to tape into this lucrative market. Morgan Stanley estimates that the sports betting market in America will generate over $7 billion in 2025. To give you a better picture of the significant growth that this entails, sports betting generated less than $900 million in 2019.
Land Based Sports Betting
Almost all the states that have legalized sports betting have land-based sports betting or retail sports betting. This allows punters to walk into the retail sportsbook, register an account and place their bets on the sporting action. The one state that has no land-based sports betting option is Tennessee.
At the time of this writing, over 300 retail sportsbooks are spread across these 20 different states. That number is expected to grow further before the end of 2021. The majority of these retail sportsbooks are found in Nevada as the state is reported to have more than 200 of the total 300 sportsbooks.
All of the other states that have legalized sports betting allow punters to place their bets in person. However, land based sports betting is definitely not as popular and online sports betting or win real money online casinos where players looking for USA no deposit bonus casinos can take advantage of free spins and exclusive bonuses.
New York, currently, is the sole state which allows legal sports betting in land-based sports betting facilities, but not online. The massive surge in the sports betting market has come predominantly via the internet. The online sports betting market has over 100 competitors that range from fantasy sports betting to straight out online sportsbooks, while most of these are just websites, some are available to download as mobile apps. A few sports betting brands that influence the online sports betting market include the likes of DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, BetAmerica, William Hill, PointsBet, Fox Bet and SportsBetting.com
Online Sports Betting
The biggest contributor to sports betting growth and sports betting revenues has undoubtedly been the online sports betting market. New York is the only state that offers land-based sports betting but no online sports betting.
Online sports betting has generated the bulk of revenues for most states because bettors have found it extremely convenient to register online and place their sports bets from the comfort of their homes. The fact that you can turn your tablet and smartphone into a handheld sports betting device, makes it easier for bettors to place their bets while on the move and not miss out on any of the sports betting action.
Over 100 online sportsbooks make up the total market share. Some of the biggest online sports betting operators currently dominating the U.S. market include DraftKings, Fox Bet, FanDuel, BetMGM, PointsBet, William Hill, BetRivers, BetAmerica and SportsBetting.com
The future is definitely in online and mobile sports betting. Betting operators are realizing this and catering their offerings and promotions to appeal to the mobile and online sports betting audience. States that are in the process of passing sports betting legislation are making it an emphasis to push for online and mobile sports betting legalization.

This industry employed around 52.84 thousand people in 2019, up from 49.56 thousand the previous year. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, employment in this area is expected to decline in 2020.
Sports That Get Lots Of Betting Action
The Supreme Court of the United States removed the federal ban on sports betting in May 2018. Many states have authorized sports betting since that decision. Some sports, however, are more popular for betting than others. When asked in April 2019, a year after the federal ban was lifted, 61 percent of sports fans said they would bet on the National Football League (NFL), putting it at the top of the list of sports and leagues on which they would wager.
Football was the sport in which the most bets were placed in the United States in 2017. A stunning 77 percent of those polled admitted to betting on football at least once in their lives.

The National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB) and National Hockey League (NHL) keep the sportsbooks busy as they draw betting action during their round robin games and a lot of betting action during the playoffs.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is also getting a lot of traction with every passing month as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) which is the premier MMA promotion in the world continues to stage fight cards with almost every weekend. Bellator which is the second most popular MMA promotion in the world is also generating interest in MMA betting.
Sporting leagues which have in the past opposed sports betting legislation have now made a U turn and are pushing for sports betting legislation. Some of these sporting leagues are also keen on tapping into the sports betting market and have entered into agreements with different sportsbooks to provide them with exclusive real time data and stats in exchange for a fee.
The NBA for instanced has entered into 6-year contract with Sportsradar for $250 million and NASCAR signed a betting partnership deal with BetMGM. Sporting teams like the Philadelphia Eagles (NFL) have partnered with Unibet, Dallas Cowboys (NFL) with WinStar Casino and the Philadelphia 76ers have joined forces with Caesars.
US Sports Betting Revenue In 2018-2019 And An Estimate Up To 2028
In the United States, the sports betting market is expanding at a rapid pace. Many states have already legalized the activity, and more are on the verge of doing so. Sports betting income is expected to reach 2.1 billion dollars in 2021, and by 2028, it will have risen to more than 10 billion dollars.
Conclusion
The sports betting market in the United States will continue to grow at an exponential rate in the next couple of years. Even though there is still some uncertainly over the pandemic and when the world will truly get over it, online sports betting options can easily overcome challenges caused, if any, by the pandemic.This is because 20 states still need to get their sports betting legislation sorted out and their betting markets launched.
