AGA’s data releases on Tuesday highlight the following:

  • 18.2 million American adults will place traditional sports wagers online, at a retail sportsbook or with a bookie, up 78% from 2021.
  • 18.5 million plan to bet casually with friends or as part of a pool or squares contest, up 23% from 2021.
  • 76% say it is important for themselves personally to bet through a legal operator, up 11% from 2021.
  • 55% of bettors plan to wager on the Los Angeles Rams compared to 45% on the Cincinnati Bengals.

Bill Miller, AGA President and CEO, commented:

“The results are clear: Americans have never been more interested in legal sports wagering. The growth of legal options across the country not only protects fans and the integrity of games and bets, but also puts illegal operators on notice that their time is limited.”
