AGA estimates NFL 2024 season bets to reach $35bn
US players said they value responsible betting resources.
The American Gaming Association (AGA) has published its legal wagering estimate for this year’s NFL season.
The AGA projects that American adults will place $35bn in legal bets with sportsbooks during football season, more than any other year.
Estimates are based on previous research the AGA conducted during last year’s NFL season. American sports fans bet close to $26.7bn on football in 2023, according to data collected.
During the past six years, more than 35 states have legalized sports wagering following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn a previously established nationwide ban.
Vermont, Maine and North Carolina are the most recent states to join the legal sports betting ranks.
A recent AGA study also revealed that “Americans are increasingly embracing casino gaming and sports betting as acceptable forms of entertainment and responsible industries.”
Of the total surveyed, 75% of American said that they “believe the gaming industry behaves responsibly in the communities where it operates.” The same percentage said that they support having a legal sports wagering market in their home state.
Nine out of 10 past-year sports bettors voiced the importance of making sure they are placing wagers with legal and regulated sportsbooks.
AGA President and CEO Bill Miller commented, “With the excitement of another NFL season upon us, Americans are placing their bets with the confidence that the legal sports betting market is prioritizing consumer protection and responsibility.
“As the season unfolds, the AGA and our members remain dedicated to working with leagues, regulators and other stakeholders to ensure fans have the knowledge and tools to keep sports betting a safe, fun part of the gameday experience.”
