The landscape for US sports betting continues to change and develop, with more US States planning to legalise sports betting. Currently it is projected that in 2021, sports betting revenue is forecast to reach 2.5 billion U.S. dollars and, by 2025, this figure is anticipated to grow to 8 billion U.S. dollars.
It has been some leap for an industry that is still relatively young. Up to 2018, sports betting was only legal within the state of Nevada.
