"Approximately $133.8 million was bet on Super Bowl LX with Nevada sportsbooks, a 10-year low, according to figures from the state gaming control. The sportsbooks won a net $9.9 million on the Seattle Seahawks' 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots. The win was down 55% from last year's record haul, but in line with previous Super Bowls. The amount wagered on the Super Bowl dropped for a second straight year, after peaking in 2024 when the game was played in Las Vegas."
"After decades as America's sports betting epicenter, Nevada now faces nationwide competition, with legal wagering in the majority of states and increasingly popular online prediction markets offering an expansive menu of game and entertainment propositions on the Super Bowl. At leading prediction market Kalshi, more than $1 billion was traded on the Super Bowl, including $113 million on the first song performed by Bad Bunny during halftime and $24 million on whether actor Mark Wahlberg would attend the game."
Nevada sportsbooks received $133.8 million in wagers on Super Bowl LX, the lowest Super Bowl handle in a decade and the smallest since the $132.5 million wagered in 2016. The books posted a $9.9 million net win on Seattle's 29-13 victory, a 55% decline from last year's record haul but similar to prior Super Bowls. Total wagering fell for a second consecutive year after peaking in 2024. Las Vegas experienced a quieter lead-up and lower hotel rates. Nationwide legal betting and booming online prediction markets such as Kalshi siphoned substantial Super Bowl activity.
