As the end of the 2018 NFL season draws near more states are starting to consider domestic sports betting after watching surrounding states rake in the additional revenue.
Georgia is a state that has not shown any interest in domestic sports betting, but the brand new Mercedes Benz Stadium is the perfect setting for football’s most coveted event.
Seven states currently offer domestic sports betting: Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey, Mississippi, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. A tribal casino in New Mexico is also accepting sports bets under a gaming compact, but the state has not passed a sports betting law.
In September of 2018, Nevada earned 56.3 million in total revenue, which is particularly higher than most of the other months on record for 2018. Delaware grossed 1 million in revenue for June 2018. New Jersey netted 11.7 million for October 2018, and Mississippi brought in 5.5 million for September 2018.
Significant income has been generated for legal sports betting states that offer domestic sports betting. Only two states currently offer online betting outside of casinos: New Jersey and Nevada.
