<div id="readability-page-1"><div> Americans set to wager a record amount this year on the big game in legal, regulated markets, representing an estimated 10.3% increase from last year.WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A new analysis released today by Legal Sports Report, in partnership with the Sports Betting Alliance (SBA), forecasts that $1.71 billion will be legally wagered on the football championship nationwide, demonstrating the continued growth of regulated sports betting markets across the United States and the popularity of one of the globe's most-watched televised events. Legal Sports Report provided the underlying research and analysis used to develop the forecast. <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2870815/LSRSBA_png.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="400" height="146" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2870815/LSRSBA_png.jpg"/> The Legal Sports Report-Sports Betting Alliance Legal Wager Forecast provides a state-by-state projection of legal wagering activity surrounding the big game, reflecting wagers placed with legal, regulated sportsbooks, and highlights the economic and consumer protection benefits of the legal market.The forecast also reveals legal wager growth compared to previous years, particularly as new jurisdictions, such as Missouri, come online in time for the big game. Importantly, these legal wagers on this major event deliver tax revenues only possible through regulated markets, which further require licensed operators to comply with strict consumer protection, transparency, and responsible gaming standards.&#34;This forecast underscores why legal markets matter: when bettors have access to regulated sportsbooks, they choose platforms that protect their data and provide consumer safeguards. When they don't, they're forced to seek out illegal offshore operators that offer none of those protections and contribute nothing to communities,&#34; said Joe Maloney, President of the Sports Betting Alliance. &#34;Legal online sports betting generates billions of dollars in revenue for states and local communities, helping them fund essential public services and programs, in areas like education and health care. Expanding and modernizing legal sports betting isn't just smart policy – it's essential to protecting consumers and ensuring communities benefit.&#34;&#34;This year's big game will continue the streak of record handle for the regulated US market,&#34; said LSR analyst Eric Ramsey. &#34;Missouri's recent launch pads an already favorable outlook for a weekend that serves as the single biggest opportunity of the year for legal sportsbooks and bettors alike. The Sports Betting Alliance is a natural partner for this forecasting project, given the key role its members play in the sustained growth of legal betting.&#34;The Legal Sports Report-Sports Betting Alliance Legal Wager Forecast also highlights the contrast between legal sportsbooks and illegal or offshore betting operations, which pay no taxes, offer no consumer protections, and undermine state regulatory frameworks. In states with strong, competitive legal markets, bettors are far more likely to wager with regulated operators that provide safeguards and accountability.The full Legal Sports Report-Sports Betting Alliance Legal Wager Forecast is available here.About SBA: The Sports Betting Alliance is a coalition of legal, regulated American sports betting and gaming companies.
