Sportsbooks in the USA List of Brands
As 2025, pinning down an exact number of retail sportsbooks in the U.S. is tricky because the landscape is constantly shifting—new locations open, some close, and state regulations evolve. However, here is a rundown based on the latest trends and data, plus name the major brands operating retail sportsbooks across the country.
Number of Retail Sportsbooks in the U.S. Sports betting is legal in 38 states plus Washington, D.C., and most of these jurisdictions allow retail sportsbooks at casinos, racetracks, sports stadiums, and other venues. While there’s no single, up-to-the-minute tally, estimates suggest there are hundreds of retail sportsbooks nationwide. For instance:
- Nevada alone has historically had over 180 sportsbooks, though recent consolidations might adjust that number slightly.
- Mississippi has around 23 active sportsbooks.
- New York has retail options at its commercial and tribal casinos, roughly a dozen or so.
- States like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan each have 20-30+ retail locations tied to casinos and other licensed venues.
A reasonable ballpark, factoring in casinos, racetracks, and emerging stadium-based books, puts the total somewhere between 300 and 500 retail sportsbooks across the U.S. This is a rough estimate, as comprehensive, real-time lists are hard to come by due to the decentralized nature of state-by-state regulation and the mix of big brands and smaller operators.
