FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary
NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The sports betting market in the United States is now in growth mode. According to data provided by Ark Invest, the U.S. sports betting market will hit an estimated USD 37 Billion valuation by 2025, a significant jump from its current USD 9.5 Billion value. This year, there were several announcements from numerous states across the country which have indicated that the U.S. is becoming friendlier to these kinds of services. For example, a Massachusetts House lawmakers have recently approved a bill to legalize sports betting in the state. And while its fate in the Senate is still uncertain, the state House of Representatives voted 156-3 on Thursday night to approve the measure, according to The Boston Globe.
