This graphic shows annual gross gaming revenue (GGR) from sports betting in the U.S. This data comes from the American Gaming Association.
GGR is the total amount of money wagered minus winnings. For example, if a player wagers $1,000,000 at a casino and wins $900,000, GGR would be $100,000.
Sports betting in the U.S. was first legalized in May 2018, after the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992. PASPA had effectively outlawed sports betting nationwide.
According to the American Gaming Association, 38 states + DC have legalized sports betting to date.
