Nearly 23 million Americans will bet on Super Bowl 2019, for a total estimated at $6 billion in Super Bowl bets according to the [American Gaming Association](https://www.americangaming.org/new/americans-will-wager-6-billion-on-super-bowl-liii/). While the vast majority of Rams vs. Patriots Super Bowl wagers will be illegal, legal sports betting is spreading throughout the U.S. Legal sportsbooks have operated in Nevada for decades, but now they're available in seven other states too. And more and more gamblers are choosing to bet on sports legally rather than take the risk of betting with a bookie or other illicit options. What's more, many people are placing legal sports bets now who never gambled on games in the past. In a new [LendEdu.com survey](https://lendedu.com/blog/money-behind-legal-sports-betting/), 60% of people who have bet legally on sports over the past half year say they had never previously made an illegal sports bet through a bookie or other means.

Is online sports betting a possibility, or do you have to place wagers in person at the casino? Here are all the answers you need for how to bet on the Super Bowl without breaking the law.
