States without legal sports betting fumbled their Super Bowl opportunity

As the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their thrilling Super Bowl win, GeoComply released fresh data showcasing how the Big Game impacted the growth of betting and bettors in states that have successfully legalized and regulated the industry.

GeoComply’s insights shed light on an undeniable trend: the appetite for legal online sports betting is strong and growing. Despite the clear consumer demand, several states remain on the sidelines, locked in legislative debates over the future of sports betting within their borders. This hesitancy has resulted in a notable missed opportunity, especially during one of the most bet-on events in American sports—the Super Bowl.

Our latest data presents a compelling case for the states currently deliberating the legalization of sports betting. In Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Missouri—states at the forefront of this debate—the Super Bowl numbers speak volumes. Consumers are eager for the security and regulatory protections that come with legalized online betting. Yet, as these states waver, they not only forego potential tax revenue but also deny their residents the protections that come with a regulated betting environment.
