Top Trending: NFL Gambling in 2025 Expected to Eclipse $30 Billion
Published on:
Sep/01/2025
The American Gaming Association believes $30 billion will be bet on the NFL at "legal" sports books in 2025. That is approximately an 8.5% increase from a revised estimate of $27.5 billion last year and is based on the national growth of wagering in 2025 and statistics from states that report football-specific betting data, according to the AGA. Scroll down for all the top stories from the world of gambling.
In 2024, more bets were placed -- and more money was wagered -- on the NFL than any other league at sportsbook DraftKings, despite there being significantly fewer games compared to the NBA and Major League Baseball.
The NFL season kicks off Sept. 4, with the Dallas Cowboys visiting the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

- Here are the top GOP Contenders to Succeed Trump for President in 2028 - Vice President Vance is the most obvious inheritor of Trump’s mantle. Part of the reason is simple: He is the much-younger vice president to an incumbent president. Vance is helped in connecting with Trump’s working-class supporters by his famously difficult upbringing, as memorialized in his book “Hillbilly Elegy. The Hill has Donald Trump, Jr. in second place followed by Tom Cotton of Arkansas. In regard to Trump, Jr, The Hill's Niall Stanage writes: "The younger Trump for now mostly confines himself to aggressive social media posts, an equally fiery podcast called “Triggered” and tending to his business interests. One doubt around the younger Trump is whether he would bring the same negatives as his father — both men are widely loathed by liberals — without the same positives with the GOP base. Still, a second Trump candidacy would automatically have to be taken seriously."
