Super Bowl LIX figures cause PA books' income losses
Like most U.S. sportsbooks, Pennsylvania's online operators felt the impact of Super Bowl LIX wagers. Despite reporting a record $101.5 million betting handle, 2025 was the first year since 2020 that Pennsylvania’s sportsbooks reported negative revenue.
With the Philadelphia Eagles’ 40–22 win, books had to pay $6.5 million more than bettors wagered. This resulted in an overall loss, especially compared to previous years, such as 2024 and 2023, when sportsbooks reported $11.1 million and $29.7 million in profit, respectively.
