More Than Half of Men Aged 18 to 49 Have Already Fallen Into Online Sports Betting

A new survey found that more than half of U.S. men ages 18 to 49 already have online sports betting accounts, and many are actively betting.

Usage is spreading quickly, while concerns about overspending and gambling addiction are rising as well.

Platforms such as DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM, along with prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, are drawing attention.

The findings suggest gambling is expanding rapidly in the U.S. and are strengthening calls for federal oversight.
