Approximately $1.76 billion is expected to be bet on Super Bowl LX with U.S. sportsbooks, a nearly 27% year-over-year increase, according to the American Gaming Association.

The projected figure, which the AGA said would be a record, includes only wagers with U.S. legal sportsbooks, which operate in 39 states and the District of Columbia. The AGA used publicly reported numbers from state gaming regulators to create its estimate, which is in line with others.
