These are the top 5 states that bet the most on the Super Bowl

The two teams that will compete for the Lombardi Trophy are the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs are the defending champions, having won Super Bowl 2023 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 49ers are seeking their sixth Super Bowl title and their first since 1995. The Chiefs and the 49ers have met once before in the Super Bowl, in 2020, when the Chiefs won.

Super Bowl 2024 is the 58th edition of the annual championship game of the National Football League. It will be played on Sunday, February 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Which top five states place the most bets on the Super Bowl?

According to Sports Promedia, the top five states to bet on the Super Bowl in 2023 accumulated more than $600 million in wagers. This year, studies suggest that betting will go up by 35%. Accounting for about $23 billion, which of those $1.5 billion will be through legal means.

The state that makes up for more than 50% of all the bets placed on Super Bowl weekend are, Nevada, which will bring around $176 million on bets alone, being the most by any state, New York; the guys in the east will collect around $160 million in wagers. Followed by $115 million in New Jersey, Illinois with $86 million and Ohio with $82 million.

In addition, curiously, neither Kansas nor California have legal betting online or by traditional means. With the increasing number of states legalizing sports betting, more and more people are getting in on the action. While the federal government allows it, the regulations are left to each state to handle. On Gambling Industry News, you can find a list of all the states that have legalized online betting.
