Pennsylvania bettors wagered a total of $59,275,463 on last weekend’s Super Bowl game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, as per the state’s Gaming Control Board.
The bets, placed both online and at retail sportsbooks, generated $18,143,469 in revenue for the Commonwealth. The total is down 41.6% from last year’s record $101.5 million wagered on the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs.
However, in 2025, the majority of wagers were placed on the Eagles. As a result, winning bets created a negative revenue of $6,532,147 last year, according to the PGCB, despite the overall higher activity.
Since Pennsylvania legalized sports wagering in 2020, the Eagles’ two Super Bowl appearances have produced the highest betting totals in the state’s seven-year history. In 2023, when the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, Pennsylvania bettors wagered $84,313,189, generating a record $29,722,902 in revenue because most bets favored the Eagles.
This year’s revenue total ranks as the second-highest in the state’s Super Bowl betting history. Bettors had access to 17 retail sportsbooks and 11 online platforms, with online wagers accounting for 90.6% of the total.
The PGCB regulates all gambling in Pennsylvania, including 17 land-based casinos, online casino games, retail and online sports betting, Video Gaming Terminals at qualified truck stops, and online fantasy sports contests.
