The report found that 88% of online users in the U.S. are exposed to offshore gambling content, whether through search engines, social platforms, apps, or streaming services.<\/p>\n<p>Events like March Madness, the Super Bowl, Copa America, and the Olympics brought increased traffic across the board, helping both licensed and offshore brands attract new users. Offshore platforms tend to appeal through broader product offerings, promotions, and access across all states.<\/p>\n<h2>Consumer Choice and Content Reach<\/h2>\n<p>Offshore sites often provide a wider range of games, including sports betting, casino products, and prediction markets such as elections and economic forecasts. This one-stop-shop appeal makes them attractive to users who may not yet have access to similar options through legal platforms, depending on state laws.<\/p>\n<p>The report also points to affiliate marketing as a driving factor, with 668 affiliates promoting offshore sites compared to 106 promoting licensed operators. These affiliates help boost visibility and retention across platforms that reach large audiences.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

In California, where online gambling is illegal, the total population loss per capita for 2024 is $141. In comparison with New Jersey, where online sports and casino gambling are legal, the illegal loss per capita on sports is $103 and on casino is $169, being a total of $272, nearly twice as much as in California.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ismail Vali, Founder and CEO of Yield Sec, stressed the importance of a combined effort from all sectors:<em> \u201cLet\u2019s not pin this on gambling regulators alone. Their job is to supervise the licensed industry, not to chase criminals who never applied for a license. Illegal gambling is everyone\u2019s problem\u2014operators, law enforcement, media companies, social platforms, and governments all have a role to play.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Industry Snapshot<\/h2>\n<p>According to the report, 917 offshore gambling operators currently target U.S. users, compared to 95 licensed ones. Offshore operators generated $67.1 billion in revenue during 2024, while regulated brands accounted for $23 billion.
