Sports Event Contracts: No Matter the Name It's Still Sports Betting
When prediction market platforms offer sports event contracts without state oversight, they skip the rules that states have set forth to protect players and support local communities. That means less funding for schools, public safety, and infrastructure. The counter below shows how much tax revenue states have lost since these markets began offering these contracts.

In 2023, 32 of the 36 jurisdictions with commercial casinos, iGaming or sports betting operations saw a rise in annual gaming revenue, with only the District of Columbia, Florida, Indiana and Mississippi contracting. Thirty of the 36 jurisdictions posted record levels of commercial gaming revenue. Notably, Kentucky joined the commercial casino marketplace in 2023 with the launch of sports betting in the Bluegrass State.
Commercial Casino Gaming Consumer Spend by State 2022 vs. 2023
The surge in gaming revenue resulted in a record $14.67 billion of direct gaming tax revenue paid to state and local governments by commercial gaming establishments, a 9.7 percent increase compared to 2022. This figure just includes specific state and local taxes directly linked to gaming activities and does not include the billions of dollars more paid by the industry in the form of income taxes, sales taxes or various corporate taxes, nor does it incorporate the payroll taxes paid by gaming operators and suppliers. Federal excise tax payments made by sports betting operators are also excluded from the total.
Commercial Casino Direct Gaming Tax Revenue by State 2022 vs 2023
The gaming industry defied broader macroeconomic concerns related to stubborn inflation and high interest rates in 2023 as consumers displayed strong demand for both traditional casino games offered at the 486 commercial casinos across the country, as well as newer iGaming and sports betting offerings. Across the 27 states with land-based commercial casinos, revenue from traditional casino games was a record $49.38 billion in 2023, up 3.3 percent versus the prior year.
The legal sports betting market launched in five new states in 2023: Ohio, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Kentucky and Maine. That expansion helped drive sports betting revenue up 46.0 percent year-over-year, from $7.56 billion in 2022 to $11.04 billion in 2022, as Americans bet a total of $121.06 billion on sports throughout the year.
Despite no geographic expansion, the iGaming market also continued its explosive growth in 2023, with combined iGaming revenue from six active states (excluding Nevada’s online poker only market) reaching $6.17 billion, a 28.2 percent increase year-over-year.

The record gaming revenue reported by commercial gaming operators resulted in a record total of $17.86 billion in direct gaming tax revenue paid to state and local governments and other beneficiaries. The tax total represented an increase of 12.3 percent from the prior year.
Notably, the $17.86 billion figure reflects only specific state and local taxes that are applied directly to gaming activities. It does not include the billions more paid by the industry in the form of income, sales, and various other corporate taxes, nor does the total reflect payroll taxes paid by gaming operators and suppliers. Also excluded are federal excise tax payments made by sports betting operations.
Commercial Casino Direct Gaming Tax Revenue by State
2024 vs. 2025
The Las Vegas Strip remained by far the largest commercial casino gaming market in the country in 2025, despite casino-resorts on the Strip reporting near flat gaming revenue growth. The opening of new casinos in Illinois meant the Chicagoland and St. Louis casino markets enjoyed strong growth in 2025 while the Baltimore-Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Detroit and Boston markets were among those that reported declining land-based casino gaming revenue.
Outside of Nevada and Mississippi, which don’t report property level numbers, Resorts World New York City remained the nation’s highest grossing commercial casino facility in 2025. The casino, located in Queens, is currently limited to electronic gaming devices but received a license in December to add table games and a sportsbook as part of a broader redevelopment plan. In terms of 2025 gaming revenue, Resorts World was followed by MGM National Harbor in Maryland, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, Encore Boston Harbor in Massachusetts, and Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland near Baltimore.
Top 20 U.S. Commercial Casino Markets
In 2025, America’s 493 commercial casino locations across 27 states reported record annual revenue of $51.06 billion from their traditional casino games. The total revenue from electronic gaming devices and table games was up 2.3 percent compared to the previous year.

iGaming
Internet gaming revenue across the seven states with lawful online casinos exceeded $10 billion in 2025, as overall iGaming revenue grew by 27.6 percent to a record total of $10.73 billion. Although the iGaming markets of Delaware, Rhode Island and West Virginia reported the strongest growth, Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania continued to account for nearly 90 percent of the nationwide total.
Pennsylvania remained the largest market, with statewide revenue increasing by nearly 28 percent to $3.46 billion. Annual iGaming revenue surpassed that of commercial land-based casinos in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey for the first time in 2025. Maine was the only state to pass legislation legalizing iGaming in 2025, though the legislation did not become law until early in 2026.
Illegal Gaming
Perhaps the most pressing gaming policy concern of state regulators and law enforcement officials in 2025 was the growing prominence of unregulated and illegal gaming operations.
During the course of the year, state and tribal governments in 16 states took action against prediction market platforms offering contracts based on the outcome of sporting events. Those actions included cease and desist orders, directly suing prediction market operators in court, and publishing guidance or formal opinions declaring sports event contracts to be a form of unauthorized sports wagering subject to state licensure and oversight.
Five states—California, Connecticut, Montana, New Jersey and New York—passed new legislation in 2025 to explicitly prohibit sweepstakes gaming platforms that mimic online casinos or sportsbooks. Arizona and Louisiana were among a number of other states that took enforcement measures against sweepstakes based on pre-existing laws.
Meanwhile, gaming regulators in states such as Florida, Michigan, Mississippi and Tennessee continued to take action against illegal offshore sportsbooks and casinos, as policymakers and courts in Missouri, Pennsylvania and Virginia also addressed the issue of unregulated devices offering unlicensed gaming under the guise of “skill games.”
In August, the AGA released new analysis showing that unregulated gaming devices, offshore sportsbooks and illegal online casinos generate an estimated $53.9 billion in revenue annually, depriving states of more than $15 billion in lost tax revenue. That total does not include the many hundreds of millions in sports wagering tax revenue being lost due to sports event contracts offered through prediction markets.

Play Smart from the Start
To evolve our industry’s approach to responsible gaming, the American Gaming Association has developed a cohesive, research-backed messaging platform that connects players to responsible play.
A Smarter Way to Play
At its core, Play Smart from the Start reflects a simple idea: when you play with purpose, everyone wins.
The gaming industry reminds consumers to make informed choices to enjoy gaming responsibly as entertainment. Recent research shows that players don’t see a difference between responsible gaming messages and problem gambling messages. As a result, most players tune out and don’t believe the message is for them. Play Smart from the Start is designed to be relevant to all players.
Game On: Activate the Power of this Platform
This new messaging platform equips AGA members and industry stakeholders with effective messaging to incorporate into their communications, marketing and advertising; make tips, tools and advice available to consumers to encourage responsible play; and elevate gaming’s leadership before a range of stakeholders by highlighting its commitments and investments to responsible gaming practices.
What is Playing Smart from the Start?
Gaming is most enjoyable when you keep the right mindset. Stay intentional about your play — keep it light, fun and in line with your personal goals.
Every time players open an app, arrive at the casino or place a bet, they should make sure they’re playing smart from the start by:
Having the Right State of Mind

- Set your own boundaries and stay within them. Choose where and when you play, ensuring your gaming environment supports positive decisions. Stay aware of how you’re feeling and make adjustments as needed.
Knowing the Game
- Knowing the odds and rules helps you stay in the game longer and keeps wagering fun, win or lose.
Acting Intentionally
- Take practical steps to ensure the game stays fun. That could be setting a budget, taking a break, or being aware of your environment.
