231 Sports Betting Statistics for 2026

How big is legal sports betting in the US?

US sports betting revenue has risen every year since the Supreme Court let states legalise it in May 2018. Betting keeps growing, and sportsbooks now keep a larger share of each dollar bet than they did a few years ago.

• Sportsbooks kept 10.16% of all money bet nationally in 2025 (the hold rate), up 98 basis points on 2024. (AGA (Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker 2025), Mar 2026)
• In 2025 all 35 states with commercial sports betting reported higher revenue than in 2024. (AGA (State of the States 2026), May 2026)
• Commercial sports betting revenue was $13.78 billion in 2024, up 24.8%, and 29 of the 35 commercial sports betting states grew. (AGA (State of the States 2025), May 2025)
• Americans legally bet $121.06 billion on sports in 2023, up 29.1%, and sportsbooks kept $11.04 billion. (AGA (Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker 2023), Feb 2024)
• The national hold rate was 9.1% in 2023, up from 8.1% in 2022, so revenue grew faster than betting. (AGA (Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker 2023), Feb 2024)
• In 2022 Americans legally bet $93.73 billion, and regulated sportsbooks took $7.56 billion in revenue, up almost 75%. (AGA (State of the States 2023), May 2023)
• AGA's latest revised figure for 2021 handle is $57.53 billion. (AGA (State of the States 2023), May 2023)
• Revenue was $4.33 billion in 2021, up 179.7%, and handle had been $21.60 billion in 2020. (AGA (State of the States 2022), May 2022)
• Americans legally bet more than $13 billion on sports in 2019, almost double 2018, and sportsbook revenue rose to $908.9 million from $430.7 million. (AGA (State of the States 2020), Jun 2020)
• Before the ruling, US sports betting revenue was $261.3 million in 2017. (AGA (State of the States 2019), Jun 2019)

Handle is the amount bet. Revenue is gross gaming revenue, handle minus winnings paid, before most promotional deductions, and hold is revenue as a share of handle. AGA compiles state regulators' reports for commercial markets only, so tribal sportsbooks and Florida's tribal mobile betting are left out. AGA revises earlier years: each figure is from the report named, and the 2025 revenue total is the May 2026 revision of the February figure.

How many states allow sports betting?

Since 2018 legal sports betting has spread from Nevada to most states and Washington DC. Expansion has since slowed, and the newest market opened at the end of 2025.

Counts are AGA's year-end figures and include states where betting is offered only at tribal casinos. Other bodies count differently, for example only states with statewide online betting, so this page uses one source and its wording throughout.

Which states have the biggest sports betting markets?

New York is by far the largest market by revenue, followed by Illinois, New Jersey and Ohio. States compare best on AGA's standardised gross revenue, because each state regulator reports a different measure.

1. 1 New York $1,697.3m
2. 2 New Jersey $1,006.6m
3. 3 Illinois $1,002.3m
4. 4 Ohio $936.6m
5. 5 Pennsylvania $686.9m
6. 6 Virginia $560.2m
7. 7 Arizona $554.8m
8. 8 Maryland $514.1m

• Arizona's commercial sports betting revenue was $838.7 million in 2025, up 18.5%, and mobile betting was around 99.5% of it. (AGA (State of the States 2026), May 2026)

• Tennessee bettors wagered $5.87 billion with mobile sportsbooks in 2025, up 10.8%; the state does not publish revenue, and AGA estimates it at $700.2 million. (AGA (State of the States 2026), May 2026)
• North Carolina's handle grew 34.3% and Vermont's 18.3% in 2025, their second full years of legal betting. (AGA (Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker 2025), Mar 2026)
• Missouri was the fifth-largest market by revenue in December 2025, its first month. (AGA (Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker 2025), Mar 2026)
• The Illinois Gaming Board describes Illinois as firmly the second largest US sports wagering market by handle. (Illinois Gaming Board, 2026)

Rankings use AGA's gross gaming revenue, before promotional deductions, standardised across states. State regulators publish their own measures, often taxable or adjusted revenue after promotions, so the state figures in the next sections are not ranked against each other. The Arizona, Virginia, Colorado and Tennessee figures are AGA's compilation of each state regulator's data; the Tennessee handle is the Sports Wagering Council's figure and its revenue an AGA estimate.

How much is bet in New York and New Jersey?

New York is the largest US market, and the state takes about half of its mobile sportsbooks' gross revenue in tax. In New Jersey the amount bet dipped in 2025 while revenue rose, and revenue in 2026 is running below 2025.

New York figures are mobile only, by state fiscal year (April to March); gross gaming revenue is reported on a cash basis and months are built from weekly reports. New Jersey figures are calendar years and gross revenue before promotional deductions; the win rates cover completed events only. The two states use different years and bases, so their totals are not compared.

What do Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio report?

Each of these states publishes a different revenue measure: taxable revenue after promotions in Pennsylvania, adjusted gross receipts in Illinois, and receipts with no promotional deduction in Ohio. In Illinois, parlays drew more money in 2025 than any single sport.

1. 1 Parlays $4,862.3m
2. 2 Basketball $3,389.7m
3. 3 Football $2,134.9m

• From January to September 2026 Ohio's taxable revenue was $721.4 million; in September alone it was $87.7 million on $945.3 million of bets. (Ohio Casino Control Commission, Oct 2026)

Pennsylvania revenue is taxable revenue after promotional credits; calendar and fiscal (July to June) years are labelled. Illinois reports adjusted gross receipts by calendar year, and its by-sport table is the board's own breakdown. Ohio's revenue is gross receipts minus winnings and voided bets, with no deduction for promotions; taxable revenue can exceed it because losing months count as zero. The three measures are not compared.

What do other state regulators report?

State regulators outside the largest markets publish monthly and annual reports in their own formats. Handle, revenue and tax are defined differently in each, so the figures are not added together.

Maryland, Massachusetts and Michigan tax revenue after promotional deductions; North Carolina taxes gross wagering revenue. Fiscal years run July to June in Maryland, North Carolina, Massachusetts and Indiana. February 2026 is the latest Michigan month confirmed at source for this page.

Nevada figures are unaudited and cover Nevada only. Quarterly records are AGA's own descriptions of its national compilation. The TV advertising figure comes from a study paid for by AGA, the industry's trade body.

How much sports betting is online?

The shares measure different things: AGA's national share is of revenue; the New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts and Indiana splits are of handle; Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania are revenue on each state's own basis; Nevada's is win. They are not compared with each other.

How much tax do states collect from sports betting?

State tax rates on sports betting run from single digits to more than half of revenue, and several states raised them in 2025 and 2026. The rates also apply to different bases, from gross revenue to revenue after promotions to, in Tennessee, the amount bet.

1. 1 New York 51%
2. 2 Pennsylvania 36%
3. 3 New Jersey 21%
4. 4 Ohio 20%
5. 5 Massachusetts 20%

• Tennessee taxes 1.85% of the total amount bet; collections were $103.4 million in fiscal year 2025, up from $87.6 million, and the Sports Wagering Council forecast $109.4 million for fiscal 2026. (Tennessee Sports Wagering Council (State Funding Board minutes), Nov 2025)
• Arizona taxes online sports betting at 10% and retail at 8%, after deductions for free bets capped at 10% of revenue; the state collected about $53.7 million in 2025. (AGA (State of the States 2026), May 2026)

Rates are as AGA lists them for 2025; New Jersey's 21% includes a 1.25% additional tax on its 19.75% rate, and North Carolina's fiscal 2027 reports use a higher rate. Bases differ: gross revenue in New Jersey, Ohio and North Carolina, revenue after promotional deductions in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Michigan, and handle in Tennessee. Taxes paid are by each state's own calendar or fiscal year. AGA's national tax total is its compilation of state and local sports betting taxes and excludes the federal excise tax on handle.

Which companies run the biggest US sportsbooks?

The large operators report their own revenue, customer counts and market shares every quarter. Each company defines these in its own way, so the figures are not ranked against each other, and none of them measures the whole market.

• DraftKings spent $605.7 million on sales and marketing in that quarter, against $360.4 million a year earlier, and reported a net loss of $468.7 million. (DraftKings, Nov 2026)
• DraftKings reported net income of $3.7 million for 2025. (DraftKings, Feb 2026)
• In February 2026 DraftKings guided to 2026 revenue of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion. (DraftKings, Feb 2026)
• In November 2026 it lowered that range to $6.35 billion to $6.55 billion. (DraftKings, Nov 2026)
• BetMGM's net revenue was $710 million in the third quarter of 2026, up 7%, of which online sports was $216 million and online casino $483 million. (BetMGM, Oct 2026)
• BetMGM claims 14% of gross gaming revenue in its active markets, including 8% in online sports. (BetMGM, Oct 2026)
• Caesars Digital, which combines online sports betting and casino, had net revenue of $326 million in the third quarter of 2026, up 4.8%. (Caesars Entertainment, Oct 2026)
• PENN Entertainment's Interactive segment reported $348.4 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2026, of which $191.4 million was a tax gross-up, and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $18.3 million. (PENN Entertainment, Nov 2026)

All figures are each company's own reports for its own periods, net of promotions. FanDuel's average monthly players, DraftKings' monthly unique payers and BetMGM's monthly actives are defined differently. Market shares are company claims, computed on different bases in the states each company operates in, and swing with sports results. PENN's revenue includes a tax gross-up, so it is not comparable with the others. Guidance figures are company forecasts.

How many Americans bet on sports?

About one in five US adults say they bet on sports in a year in online surveys, and young men are the most likely to bet. A phone survey that asks only about professional sports finds a much lower share.

View data table

Share of US adults who say they bet money on sports in the past year, by age, 2025.

Period	Value
18-29	31%
30-49	26%
50-64	19%
65+	12%

• Men (25%) are more likely than women (19%) to have bet on sports in the past year. (Pew Research Center, Oct 2025)
• 31% of adults aged 18 to 29 bet on sports in the past year, including 36% of men in that age group, against 12% of those 65 and over. (Pew Research Center, Oct 2025)
• 10% of US adults placed a sports bet online in the past year, up from 6% in 2022; betting in person held at 8% and betting with friends or family at 15%. (Pew Research Center, Oct 2025)
• 43% of US adults say legal sports betting is a bad thing for society, up from 34% in 2022, and 40% say it is bad for sports. (Pew Research Center, Oct 2025)
• In NCPG's survey, sports betting participation rose from 20% of adults in 2018 to 26% in 2021, then levelled off at 23% in 2024. (NCPG (NGAGE 3.0 survey), Jul 2025)
• The share of sports bettors making parlay bets rose from 17% in 2018 to 30% in 2024. (NCPG (NGAGE 3.0 survey), Jul 2025)
• In Gallup's 2026 phone survey, 7% of US adults said they had bet on a professional sports event in the past 12 months, down from 10% in 2016 and 22% in 1989. (Gallup, Aug 2026)
• 11% of men and 4% of women told Gallup they had bet on professional sports, as did 12% of adults aged 18 to 34. (Gallup, Aug 2026)
• 4% of US adults bet on a college sports event in the past year, and 4% played fantasy sports for money. (Gallup, Aug 2026)
• 45% of US adults gambled in some form in the past year; on Gallup's comparable 11-item measure the share fell to 44% from 64% in 2016. (Gallup, Aug 2026)

The surveys measure different things. Pew asks about any sports bet in the past year, including with friends, in an online panel; NCPG's survey is also an online panel; Gallup asks by phone about professional sports only, and says it is unclear whether its drop reflects less gambling or reluctance to tell an interviewer. Their figures are not compared or combined.

How many young people and college athletes bet?

Betting is common among college-age Americans. The NCAA, whose athletes are barred from sports betting, reports that many players are harassed by bettors, above all in men's basketball.

1. 1 Bet on sports, 2016 24%
2. 2 Bet on sports, 2024 22%
3. 3 Gambled alone, 2016 6%
4. 4 Gambled alone, 2024 15%
5. 5 Lost $500+ in a day, 2016 2%
6. 6 Lost $500+ in a day, 2024 5%

• 58% of Americans aged 18 to 22 have taken part in at least one sports betting activity, and 67% of students living on campus bet. (NCAA, May 2023)
• 41% of college students who bet on sports have bet on their own school's teams, and 35% have used a student bookmaker. (NCAA, May 2023)
• 6% of 18 to 22 year olds say they have lost more than $500 on sports betting in a single day. (NCAA, May 2023)
• 22% of NCAA student-athletes on men's teams reported betting on sports in the past year in 2024, against 24% in 2016; about 5% of women's sport participants did so in both years. (NCAA, Jan 2025)
• The share of men student-athletes reporting single-day losses of $500 or more rose from 2% in 2016 to 5% in 2024, and the share gambling alone from 6% to 15%. (NCAA, Jan 2025)
• 36% of Division I men's basketball players reported social media abuse related to sports betting in the past year, and 29% had interacted with a student on campus who bet on their team. (NCAA, Nov 2025)
• In the same 2025 survey, 16% of top-tier (FBS) football players had received negative or threatening messages. (NCAA, Nov 2025)
• By November 2025 the NCAA had opened investigations into about 30 current or former men's basketball players over possible betting violations, and 12 student-athletes had been permanently banned. (NCAA, Nov 2025)
• One in three Division I men's basketball players report being blamed directly by fans for betting losses, and nearly 60% of college basketball players say betting has led to unfair public scrutiny. (NCAA, Mar 2026)

All NCAA figures are self-reported surveys. The 2023 survey covered 18 to 22 year olds in and out of college and counts informal bets; the athlete surveys cover NCAA student-athletes, for whom any sports betting breaks NCAA rules. Investigation counts are as of November 2025.

How many Americans have a gambling problem?

Surveys, helpline records and research each measure gambling harm in the US in a different way. Sports betting now comes up in more than a quarter of national helpline conversations.

• 17% of traditional sports bettors and 24% of fantasy sports bettors reported at least one sign of problem gambling "many times" in the past year. (NCPG (NGAGE 3.0 survey), Jul 2025)
• NCPG estimates that 2.5 million US adults are likely to have a gambling disorder and 5 to 8 million more show some problem behaviour. (NCPG (NGAGE 3.0 survey), Jul 2025)
• 3% of US adults, and 7% of those who gambled in the past year, told Gallup they sometimes gamble more than they think they should. (Gallup, Aug 2026)
• 9% of US adults say gambling has been a source of problems in their family, up from 7% in 2016. (Gallup, Aug 2026)
• Sports betting was named as a main problem form of gambling in 27.34% of National Problem Gambling Helpline conversations in 2025, up from 22.25% in 2024. (NCPG (Helpline annual report 2025), May 2026)
• Online and app-based gambling was named in 31.36% of helpline conversations in 2025, up from 22.77%. (NCPG (Helpline annual report 2025), May 2026)
• Helpline contacts rose from 226,523 in 2018, the year of the Supreme Court ruling, to 402,504 in 2024. (NCPG (Helpline annual report 2025), May 2026)
• US searches for gambling addiction help were cumulatively 23% higher than expected after the 2018 ruling, which the authors put at about 6.5 to 7.3 million help-seeking searches up to June 2024. (JAMA Internal Medicine, Feb 2025)
• In Pennsylvania such searches were 33% higher than expected after retail sportsbooks opened, and 61% higher after online sportsbooks opened. (JAMA Internal Medicine, Feb 2025)
• Pennsylvania received about 7,400 self-exclusion requests in 2024, up from about 5,500 in 2023; requests for its online list, which covers online sports betting, rose from about 2,200 to almost 3,500. (Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, Sep 2025)

NCPG's survey counts people reporting at least one of four problem behaviours "many times"; NCPG says it is not a prevalence study of gambling disorder. Gallup's are single self-report questions about all gambling. Helpline figures measure help-seeking, not how many people are harmed, and NCPG says the incomplete 2025 total is not a true fall. The JAMA study measures internet searches. None of these is a clinical diagnosis rate, and they are not combined.

How does legal sports betting affect household finances?

Two research teams using bank and credit records find that legalising online sports betting is followed by less saving and more debt trouble. Both studies are working papers, so their estimates may change on publication.

• Each $1 deposited with online sportsbooks reduced net investment by just under $1, the NBER paper estimates. (NBER, Nov 2024)
• Households that bet deposited an average of $180 a quarter with sportsbooks after their state legalised online betting. (NBER, Nov 2024)
• Financially constrained households increased their credit card balances by about $368 compared with less constrained households, an 8% rise relative to the sample average. (NBER, Nov 2024)
• Average credit scores fell by roughly 0.3% in states that legalised sports betting. (Hollenbeck, Larsen and Proserpio (working paper, Oct 2024), Oct 2024)
• Three to four years after online sports betting was legalised, the likelihood of a bankruptcy filing rose by as much as 25-30% compared with before. (Hollenbeck, Larsen and Proserpio (working paper, Oct 2024), Oct 2024)
• The authors' rough estimate is about 30,000 extra bankruptcies and $8 billion more debt sent to collections each year in states with legal online betting. (Hollenbeck, Larsen and Proserpio (working paper, Oct 2024), Oct 2024)

The NBER paper (w33108, November 2024) by Baker, Balthrop, Johnson, Kotter and Pisciotta uses transaction data and had not been peer reviewed at that stage. The Hollenbeck, Larsen and Proserpio figures come from the October 2024 working-paper version of their paper, as filed with a Minnesota Senate committee; the published journal version may differ. Both compare states before and after legalisation, so their results are averages.

How big are sports prediction markets?

Prediction markets let people trade contracts on the outcome of events, and they are regulated by the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission, not by state gaming regulators. Most of their trading volume is now on sports.

1. 1 Sports $1,200m
2. 2 Politics $11m
3. 3 Weather $4m

• Politics-related contracts accounted for about $11 million of monthly trading in August 2026 and weather about $4 million, on CFTC estimates. (CFTC, Oct 2026)
• At least seven CFTC-registered exchanges offered sports event contracts to US persons on 1 September 2026, and more than fifteen exchange applications had been filed since 2025. (CFTC, Oct 2026)
• On 4 February 2026 the CFTC withdrew its June 2024 event-contract proposal and a September 2025 staff advisory on sports event contracts. (CFTC, Feb 2026)
• On 9 October 2026 the CFTC proposed defining event contracts, including those on sports, as swaps, with a 30-day comment period. (CFTC, Oct 2026)
• 2% of US adults told Gallup they had bet on a future non-sports event in an online prediction market in the past year, including 4% of 18 to 34 year olds. (Gallup, Aug 2026)
• FanDuel Predicts, Flutter's prediction-market product, had 66,000 average monthly players and $119 million of volume in the third quarter of 2026. (Flutter Entertainment, Nov 2026)
• DraftKings' Sports Consumer Volume, which counts prediction-market trades as well as settled sportsbook bets, was $13.90 billion in the third quarter of 2026, up 21.9%. (DraftKings, Nov 2026)

CFTC volumes are the Commission's estimates from exchange trade data and cover US-registered exchanges only. Contract trading volume is not the same as sportsbook handle and is not added to it. Gallup's question covers non-sports events only. Company prediction-market figures are each company's own.

How big is sports betting in Great Britain?

Britons staked more online in 2025-26 than a year earlier, but operators kept less of it, and betting shops keep closing. Football is the largest online betting market, ahead of horse racing.

View data table

Online (remote) betting gross gambling yield in Great Britain by financial year (April to March), in millions of pounds. 2025-26 is provisional; 2020-21 was lifted by betting shop closures during lockdowns.

Period	Value
2019-20	£2,325.8m
2020-21	£2,639.5m
2021-22	£2,284.5m
2022-23	£2,314.8m
2023-24	£2,361.2m
2024-25	£2,620.9m
2025-26	£2,447.6m

• Online betting turnover, the amount staked, was £24,965.6 million in April 2025 to March 2026, up 4.5%. (Gambling Commission (industry statistics), Sep 2026)
• Online football betting produced £1,165.2 million of gross gambling yield on £10,147.7 million of stakes. (Gambling Commission (industry statistics), Sep 2026)
• Online horse racing betting produced £769.3 million on £7,849.2 million of stakes. (Gambling Commission (industry statistics), Sep 2026)
• Betting shop counters took £6,585.0 million in stakes and kept £1,171.2 million, with horses (£456.2 million) ahead of football (£396.9 million). (Gambling Commission (industry statistics), Sep 2026)
• Land-based betting yield fell 3.3% to £2,422.2 million, and gaming machines made up 49.4% of it. (Gambling Commission (industry statistics), Sep 2026)
• There were 5,617 betting shops at March 2026, 208 fewer than a year before, the 12th fall in a row. (Gambling Commission (industry statistics), Sep 2026)
• Online casino, betting and bingo operators had 25.7 million active customer accounts at the end of March 2026. (Gambling Commission (industry statistics), Sep 2026)
• The whole British gambling industry, including the National Lottery, had gross gambling yield of £17,455.7 million in 2025-26, up 4.4%; online casino, at £5,699.4 million, was the largest sector. (Gambling Commission (industry statistics), Sep 2026)
• Great Britain's new statutory gambling levy raised just under £120 million in its first year, charged at 1.1% of yield for online operators and 0.5% for land-based betting. (DCMS, Mar 2026)

Gross gambling yield (GGY) is stakes minus winnings paid. Figures cover Great Britain, not Northern Ireland, and run April to March; 2025-26 is provisional. Land-based betting yield includes gaming machines in betting shops, so it is not all sports betting. Active accounts are not people, since one person can hold several. The levy covers all gambling sectors.

How many people in Great Britain bet, and how many are harmed?

About one adult in ten in Great Britain bets in a typical four weeks, mostly online and mostly men. Problem gambling scores are higher among sports bettors than among gamblers as a whole.

1. 1 Live football 6.0%
2. 2 Live horse racing 4.4%
3. 3 Bet in-play 3.0%
4. 4 Used a betting exchange 0.8%

• 9.8% of adults in Great Britain bet on sports, racing or other events in the past four weeks; 8.4% bet online or through an app and 3.1% in person. (Gambling Commission (Gambling Survey for Great Britain), Jul 2026)
• 15.0% of men and 4.8% of women bet in the past four weeks, and adults aged 25 to 34 were the most likely to bet on sports or racing online, at 12.2%. (Gambling Commission (Gambling Survey for Great Britain), Jul 2026)
• 6.0% of adults bet on live football in the past four weeks, 4.4% on live horse racing, and 3.0% bet in-play during an event. (Gambling Commission (Gambling Survey for Great Britain), Jul 2026)
• 2.4% of adults scored 8 or more on the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) in 2025, the problem gambling range, and a further 3.5% scored 3 to 7. (Gambling Commission (Gambling Survey for Great Britain), Jul 2026)
• Among people who bet on sports or racing online in the past year, 8.9% scored 8 or more, against 4.0% of all past-year gamblers and 13.4% of in-person sports and racing bettors. (Gambling Commission (Gambling Survey for Great Britain), Jul 2026)
• The statutory levy is split 50% to treatment, 30% to prevention and 20% to research. (DCMS, Mar 2026)

The Gambling Survey for Great Britain is an official survey of 20,775 adults, run online and by post since 2023; its rates are not comparable with older surveys run another way. PGSI scores cover the past 12 months. People who bet in several ways appear in several groups, so the rates by activity show a link, not a cause.

How big is online betting in Ontario?

Ontario opened a regulated online gambling market with private operators in April 2022. Sports betting is a small and shrinking share of it, because online casino games have grown much faster.

• Casino C$8,504m
• Betting C$1,074m
• Poker and other C$130m

• The market generated more than C$4.2 billion in gaming revenue in its fourth year, April 2025 to March 2026, across all products. (iGaming Ontario, May 2026)
• Betting on sports, esports and other events was C$1,074 million of the C$9,708 million wagered in September 2026, 11% of cash wagers and 17% of revenue. (iGaming Ontario, Oct 2026)
• Casino games took 88% of cash wagers in September 2026. (iGaming Ontario, Oct 2026)
• In June 2022 betting was 23% of cash wagers, at C$348 million. (iGaming Ontario, Oct 2026)
• Ontario had 1.413 million active online gambling accounts in September 2026, up from 277,000 in the April 2022 launch month; average monthly revenue per account was C$295. (iGaming Ontario, Oct 2026)
• 91.1% of Ontario adults who gambled online used regulated sites in 2025-26, up from 83.7% a year earlier, and 8.9% gambled only on unregulated sites, in an Ipsos survey for iGaming Ontario and the AGCO. (iGaming Ontario, May 2026)

iGaming Ontario figures are unaudited, in Canadian dollars, and cover private operators in Ontario's regulated market, excluding the provincial lottery corporation's own online games and horse racing. Totals include online casino and poker as well as betting. Revenue is cash wagers minus winnings, before promotional deductions. Accounts are not people.

How big is sports betting in France?

France's licensed online sports betting market grew by double digits in 2025, led by football and tennis. Its regulator, the ANJ, says total French sports betting stakes are now larger than Britain's, though the two countries count stakes differently.

• Football €6,320m
• Tennis €2,650m
• Other sports €2,547m

• French online sports betting stakes reached €11,517 million in 2025, up 12.0%, and operators kept €1,766 million, up 10.4%, two thirds of online gambling revenue. (ANJ, Jun 2026)
• Football drew €6,320 million of online stakes and tennis €2,650 million; Champions League stakes rose 41% under the competition's new format. (ANJ, Jun 2026)
• France's online gambling market had 4.2 million unique players and 6.1 million active accounts in 2025; the average active account staked €2,186 a year on sports. (ANJ, Jun 2026)
• Total French sports betting stakes, online and in FDJ shops, rose from €448 million in 2010 to €15.3 billion in 2025, and the ANJ says France has overtaken Great Britain in total sports betting stakes. (ANJ, Jun 2026)
• Sports betting made up 91.5% of admissible requests to France's gambling mediator in 2025, out of 1,856 requests received. (ANJ, Jun 2026)

Figures are for calendar 2025 and cover licensed online operators, except where FDJ shops are named. Operators' takings are gross gaming revenue (stakes minus winnings). The comparison with Great Britain is the ANJ's own statement; the Gambling Commission counts stakes on a different basis, so this page does not compare the two.

How big is sports betting in the rest of Europe?

National regulators in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Denmark and Ireland each publish betting figures in their own currency, period and measure. Several count horse racing together with sports, so the countries are not ranked.

1. 1 Football 69.9%
2. 2 Tennis 20.5%
3. 3 Basketball 6.0%

• Spain's state-licensed online gambling operators made €405.36 million of gross gaming revenue in July to September 2025; betting was €149.50 million (36.88%), up 10.00% on a year earlier. (DGOJ, Dec 2025)
• In Italy's province of Naples, €836.5 million was staked on fixed-odds bets on events other than horse racing in 2025, against €284.3 million in Milan. (ADM, Jan 2026)
• Portugal's online sports betting operators earned €125.1 million in April to June 2026, up 14.6%, on betting volume of €515.6 million, and sports betting was 38.1% of online gambling revenue. (SRIJ, Aug 2026)
• The 2026 FIFA World Cup took 28.3% of Portuguese online football betting volume in that quarter. (SRIJ, Aug 2026)
• 1.214 million player registrations placed at least one online bet or game in Portugal in the second quarter of 2026, and 23.3% of them bet only on sports. (SRIJ, Aug 2026)
• In October to December 2025 Portuguese online sports betting revenue fell 10.6% to €123.6 million, while betting volume rose 7.0% to €571.1 million. (SRIJ, Mar 2026)
• Denmark's betting gross gaming revenue was DKK 2,130 million in 2025, down 11.5%, and betting was 19% of the Danish gambling market. (Spillemyndigheden, Jun 2026)
• 71% of Danish betting revenue came from mobile devices in 2025, up from 13% in 2012, when betting was opened to licensed competition. (Spillemyndigheden, Jun 2026)
• Irish bookmakers declared €923.7 million of remote (online and phone) bets in the second quarter of 2026 and €555.4 million of bets placed in person, both taxed at 2%. (Revenue Commissioners, Aug 2026)

Each country's figures are in its own currency and measure and are not converted, added or ranked. Spain's betting segment includes horse racing. Italy's figures are ADM's provincial fixed-odds data, which the table does not label by channel. Portugal's figures are online only. Denmark's figures include horse racing and land-based betting and are in 2026 prices. Ireland's figures are amounts staked on all bet types, horse racing included.

How much do Australians lose on betting?

Australians' net losses on racing and sports betting rose sharply to 2021-22 and have been close to flat since. New South Wales and Victoria account for most of them.

• Wagering losses were A$2,877.5 million in New South Wales, A$2,464.5 million in Victoria and A$1,533.2 million in Queensland in 2024-25. (QGSO (Australian Gambling Statistics), Aug 2026)

• The ACMA had blocked 1,708 illegal gambling and affiliate websites by May 2026, since its first request in November 2019, and over 230 illegal services had left the Australian market since 2017. (ACMA, May 2026)
• In April to June 2026 the ACMA referred 187 websites for blocking and found 56 breaches of the Interactive Gambling Act. (ACMA, Aug 2026)

Expenditure is the amount bet minus winnings, in nominal Australian dollars, by financial year, and includes racing as well as sports; the official series does not split them. Figures before 2019-20 were counted on a different basis and are left out. State figures reflect bets by each state's residents. Most sites the ACMA blocks offer casino-style games, and some also offered unlicensed betting.

Brazil's regulated fixed-odds betting covers sports bets and online casino games together, so none of these figures is sports-only. Bettor counts are unique tax IDs reported by licensed companies. Gross gaming revenue is total bets minus prizes paid. Figures are in Brazilian reais.

Methodology and sources

Figures come from state gaming regulators, the American Gaming Association's compilation of state data, federal regulators, survey producers (Pew Research Center, Gallup, NCPG, NCAA), research papers, company filings and investor releases, and national regulators outside the US. Each figure links to the body that produced it, with the date. Handle, gross gaming revenue, taxable revenue and tax are named and kept apart, fiscal and calendar years are labelled, and figures from different states, surveys or countries are not added together or ranked. Forecasts and company claims are labelled as such, working papers are named as working papers, and no figure is converted between currencies. The page links only to regulators, research and company filings, never to betting promotions. It is reviewed monthly and the date is shown at the top.
