LAS VEGAS, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sports betting is booming nationwide, but not all states are created equal when it comes to how well their residents play the game.

The Winners vs. The Losers
From Nevada’s dominance as the King of Sports Betting to Delaware’s harsh reality as the Bettor’s Graveyard, the rankings tell a story of where America’s sharpest betting minds — and weakest habits — are found.
- Nevada remains the gold standard, with decades of betting culture shaping disciplined, successful players.
- Colorado has quietly built a reputation as one of the smartest betting communities in the country.
- Iowa may be a smaller market, but locals consistently show discipline and smarts well beyond its size.
- On the other end, Delaware stands out as the Bettor’s Graveyard, where sportsbooks dominate and locals struggle to win.
- Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, and Kentucky also rank among the toughest environments, reinforcing how cultural habits shape betting outcomes as much as the games themselves.
“These numbers tell a fascinating story,” said Frank Ammirante, Managing Editor at Bookmakers Review. “Some states have cultures of informed, disciplined bettors who know how to stretch their dollar, while in other places, locals just can’t seem to beat the house. It’s an eye-opening snapshot of how betting success varies across America.”
Why It Matters
This analysis moves beyond just odds and point spreads, shining a light on how culture, experience, and discipline influence sports betting success.
The findings are already sparking conversation among fans who want to know: is my state full of sharps — or are we feeding the sportsbooks?
Bookmakers Review also released a series of shareable graphics illustrating the results, including “The King of Sports Betting” (Nevada) and “The Bettor’s Graveyard” (Delaware), designed for easy use across news and social platforms.

Approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission paves the way for Kambi to provide its premium sports betting solutions in Las Vegas and across the Silver State
Kambi Group plc (“Kambi”), the home of premium sports betting solutions, has received approval for its Nevada gaming licence applications, marking a significant step towards launching in one of the world’s most iconic betting markets. The Nevada Gaming Commission approved Kambi’s application for Manufacturer & Distributor Licenses and an Information Services License, following a unanimous recommendation by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (“NGCB”) earlier this month.
The licences will enable Kambi to provide its industry-leading sportsbook technology and services to nonrestricted gaming establishments in Las Vegas and across the state of Nevada for the first time. With limited B2B competition in the state due to the high regulatory requirements, Nevada presents Kambi with future growth opportunities in line with its strategy to expand its footprint across the Americas.
Kambi has been at the forefront of the regulated US sports betting industry since 2018, processing the first legal online wager outside of Nevada following the repeal of PASPA. This latest achievement underscores the company’s dedication to delivering world-class sportsbook solutions while adhering to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and corporate probity.
Werner Becher, CEO of Kambi, said: “Securing approval for our licences in Nevada is an important milestone for Kambi and a testament to our market-leading technology, regulatory expertise and corporate integrity. Nevada is widely known as the gold standard for betting and gaming regulation, insisting on a standard that few companies can meet, and is therefore recognition of Kambi’s unwavering commitment to excellence. We would like to thank both the Commission and NGCB for their thorough review and approval of our applications.”
