Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs drew 113 million viewers and generated record online sports-betting activity, fueled by storylines including the first Super Bowl featuring two Black starting quarterbacks, the Kelce brothers’ matchup, and Rihanna’s halftime return. DraftKings expected the game to be its largest customer-acquisition event, while FanDuel reported processing up to 50,000 bets per minute and a location-verification provider recorded 100 million betting transactions over the weekend, including more than 100,000 near Arizona’s State Farm Stadium. The event, held in a state permitting online wagering, highlighted the growth of legalized sports betting following the 2018 Supreme Court decision and the ability of operators to manage heavy demand without reported outages.
