Even then, football tends to skew lower, with the Super Bowl coming even below, given the huge number of recreational s who prefer pre-match wagering.

New York will closely follow the state as the largest sports betting market, with a substantial portion of the wagers expected to flow through online sportsbooks, reflecting the growing trend of digital betting platforms in the industry.

During the event, Illinois, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania will remain among the top five states. Besides this, there have been intriguing state-based observations as well.
