More Than 50 percent of U.S. Say Sports Betting Should Be Legal<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Too Many Sports Betting Ads During Games\u2019 Say Majority of Fans <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"South Orange, NJ, March 2, 2023 \u2013\u00a0The proliferation of legal sports betting in the United States (along with the commercials that accompany it), has led to an uptick in public acceptance for sports betting \u2013 and participation.<\/p>\n

Amongst the general population 54 percent said sports betting should be legal, with just 22 percent opposed. For self-described sports fans that number rose to 62 percent (20 percent opposed) and 74 percent of avid fans (just 15 percent opposed).<\/p>\n

Those numbers when measured against a Seton Hall Sports Poll from a year ago, rose (47, 59 and 72 percent respectively in favor of legal sports betting in February 2022). Interestingly, the largest rise came from non-sports fans, with 41 percent in favor this year (24 percent opposed); last year the number was 33 percent in favor and 28 percent opposed.<\/p>\n

If You Bet, Are You More Likely Watch?<\/strong>
\nPerhaps not surprisingly, those who bet are more likely to watch. With 77 percent of those among the general public who said they had engaged in sports betting saying that placing a bet makes it more likely they would watch a broadcast of the game. That number rose to 80 percent of sports fans and 79 percent of avid fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leagues and networks have an obvious interest in sports betting which is further verified by these numbers,\u201d said Professor Charles Grantham, Director of the Center for Sport Management within Seton Hall\u2019s Stillman School of Business, which sponsors the Poll. \u201cBut this interest doesn\u2019t come without caveats and costs. As the audience and revenue continue to expand and the stakes get higher, scrutiny must also increase \u2013 and that comes with a cost. The integrity of the games is paramount and must be protected at all times. The leagues will continue, in this context, to pursue an \u2018integrity fee,\u2019 and I think they have a valid argument.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you placed a bet on a sporting event, would it make you more likely to watch the broadcast of that event?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pushback on Betting Commercials and Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there is greater acceptance of betting in general, reaction to advertising for the industry is generally unfavorable. Fifty percent of the general population say they do not<\/em> enjoy betting-related advertisements (22 percent said they do). Among sports fans 43 percent did not enjoy while 30 percent of avid fans were not fans of these commercials. Among those avid fans, 44 percent said they enjoy sports betting commercials.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvertising, if over employed, can turn potential customers off,\u201d said Seton Hall Marketing Professor Daniel Ladik, who is chief methodologist for the poll.\u00a0\u201cIf there are too many sports betting ads and sports fans don\u2019t enjoy them, then brand equity for these brands will decrease and future customers cannot be counted on.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too Much Advertising?<\/strong>
\nAmong the general population, 42 percent say there are too many sports betting ads shown during sporting events (9 percent disagree, with the remainder neither agreeing or disagreeing). Among sports fans that number rises to 52 percent who say \u201ctoo many ads\u201d with 10 percent disagreeing. Among avid fans, 60 percent agree, with 10 percent in disagreement).<\/p>\n

There should be a whistle-to-whistle ban on betting-related advertising during sporting events, meaning there would be no betting-related ads from the time a game starts until it is over, but ads could be shown both before and after a game. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been more than four years since the Supreme Court removed the Federal ban on sports betting, allowing states to legalize it if they wish. At present, 32 states and the District of Columbia allow sports betting (either online, in person, or both).<\/p>\n
