Sports Betting and Uncle Sam

April can sometimes make or break us, depending on your own personal tax situations. And with the rise of legalized sports betting in the U.S., many Americans have taken the plunge and placed a bet on their favorite team. According to the American Gaming Association, nearly 22 million Americans bet on Super Bowl LIII, with a staggering $6 billion wagered. Unlike past Super Bowls, this year’s game featured plenty of wagering in states beyond Nevada. A total of eight states offer legalized, regulated sports betting with a dozen more on the brink of legalization this year.
