Projected NFL betting revenue reaches an astounding $30 billion by 2025, according to American Gaming Association estimate.

The NFL 2025 season is just around the corner, and with it comes an estimated $30 billion in wagers through legal U.S. sportsbooks. This figure represents an 8.5% increase over last season's revised estimate of $27.6 billion.

The American Gaming Association (AGA) has released a statement reminding bettors to follow the principles of its "Have a Game Plan. Bet Responsibly" campaign. The campaign promotes five key principles: Set a Budget and Stick to It, Keep it Social, Know the Odds, Play Legally, and Keep Your Cool.

AGA President and CEO Bill Miller emphasized the importance of these principles, stating that legal, regulated sports betting encourages all football fans to have a game plan before placing a bet. He further added that legal sports betting enhances the fun and friendly competition of NFL games.

The NFL season estimate includes preseason games, futures booked as early as March, the playoffs, and Super Bowl LX in February 2026. The estimate is based on national handle growth to date in 2025 applied to last year's estimated NFL season total, along with football-specific reporting from select states.

The AGA believes that legal sports betting makes NFL games and traditions even more special. In fact, 75% of Americans support legal sports wagering in their home state, and 90% view sports betting as an acceptable form of entertainment, according to the AGA.

The legal, regulated sports betting industry promotes strong consumer protections and a shared commitment to responsibility. With 38 states and Washington, D.C. offering consumers regulated options to wager on sports following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in 2018, the industry is growing and evolving to meet the needs of consumers.

As the NFL season begins, the AGA encourages all football fans to ensure their gameday experience remains enjoyable, regardless of the outcome of a bet or the game. Athlete harassment is never acceptable, and good sportsmanship is for everyone, according to the "Have A Game Plan. Bet Responsibly" campaign.

In conclusion, the NFL 2025 season is set to be a record-breaking one in terms of betting estimates. However, it's important to remember the principles of responsible gaming and to always keep the spirit of sportsmanship alive.
