The total amount of wagers, made online and at 17 Pennsylvania casinos, was down 46.1% from last year’s record total of $101.5 million, state regulators said.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania football fans made $59,275,463 in online and retail sportsbook wagers for last weekend’s Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, generating $18,143,469 in revenue, according to figures released Thursday by the state Gaming Control Board.
The wagering total fell far short of the record $101,548,073 in wagers made for last year’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs — a drop of 41.6%, to be exact.
But because Pennsylvania gamblers made wagers that were overwhelmingly in the Eagles’ favor, the winning wagers created a negative revenue of $6,532,147 in 2025, the PGCB said.
Wagering for this year’s Super Bowl created $18,143,469 in revenue for the Commonwealth.
Since the Commonwealth began allowing sports wagering in 2020, the Eagles have been to the Super Bowl twice. Those two visits account for the two highest wagering totals in seven years of sports betting.Â
In 2023 — the year the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII — Pennsylvania gamblers made $84,313,189 in bets. Because most of that money went on the Eagles, the losses generated a record $29,722,902 in revenue for the Commonwealth.
This year’s revenue total of $18.1 million is the second-highest in the seven-year history of Super Bowl wagering in Pennsylvania, according to the PGCB.
Patrons could choose to place Super Bowl wagers in Pennsylvania at 17 retail locations and through 11 online wagering sites. Figures show that 90.6% of the money wagered was through online sites.
The PGCB oversees all aspects of gambling involving 17 land-based casinos, online casino games, retail and online sports wagering and Video Gaming Terminals (VGTs) at qualified truck stops, along with the regulation of online fantasy sports contests.
