A number of US states have enacted legislation that allows for the legalization of sports betting. Some of these laws allow retail (in-person) betting while others are aimed at online betting.

In addition to NFL betting, fans can also bet on baseball, basketball, and hockey. Most top sportsbooks offer extensive coverage of these games.

Betting on college football is more prevalent in some parts of the country, but be sure to check local laws before placing a bet. Some states do not permit betting on collegiate teams or events, while others restrict certain types of wagers.

NCAA baseball is another sport that has been a hotbed of betting action. While most states do not allow wagering on in-state college teams through mobile, some do permit wagers on college player props.

Other sports and leagues

Other major US sports leagues have begun to pursue a role in US sports betting, including an attempt to obtain a share of the profits. Leagues have also sought to impose mandates regarding what data must be collected.
