Eight states now have legal sports betting. Most remains in state casinos, but online wagering is growing fast. Take on and offline together and sports fans now have 261 legal options for where to place sports bets.

“We’re setting the line at a $100 million in legal bets in New Jersey and $325 million in total bets placed on the game at legal sportsbooks nationwide. The excitement of being able to legally place a bet for the first time in New Jersey, an intriguing matchup with two high-powered offenses and plenty of star power, and the proliferation of proposition bets, should all combine to make for an impressive total.”

The American Gaming Association (AGA) put out its own survey findings on Jan 28. The survey conducted by Morning Consult, found that:
