How big is the sports betting industry in the United States?
Since the legalization of sports betting at a federal level in 2018, the sports betting industry in the U.S. has boomed. In 2025, revenue from the industry climbed to over 16 billion U.S. dollars. However, this did not make up a particularly large share of the overall industry, with casino slots and table games generating around triple the revenue of sports betting in the same year.
