Summary · why it matters

The American Gaming Association estimates Americans will legally wager $29.5 billion on the 2026 NFL season, nearly flat from last year's $29.4 billion, as prediction markets curb growth. AGA President Bill Miller says backdoor sports betting on prediction platforms has stalled legal handle, operating outside regulatory frameworks in the 40 jurisdictions where sports betting is legal and bypassing bans in 11 others. Sports bets make up about 80% of Kalshi's volume, including an estimated $5.1 billion from users aged 18 to 20, below the legal age in most jurisdictions. The NFL has renewed and expanded official partnerships with DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics Betting and Gaming, signaling continued support for licensed sportsbooks.
