A new report from the American Gaming Association (AGA) reveals that illegal and unregulated gambling continues to hold a significant portion of the U.S. gaming market, diverting billions in revenue and taxes away from regulated operators and public programs.
According to the AGA’s latest analysis, Americans wager an estimated $673.6 billion annually with illegal and unregulated gambling operators. This activity generates $53.9 billion in annual revenue for offshore betting platforms and unlicensed machine operators, while costing state governments approximately $15.3 billion in lost tax revenue each year.
