The sports betting market has grown significantly in recent years. Read on to find out why more and more US citizens are betting on sports.
By Jonas Bronck / PublisherIn 2023, the sports betting industry increased in value by a staggering 44.5% from the previous year, with over $11 billion in revenue.
