Chart of the Day: View on Sports Betting

Chart showing the changes in public opinion of sports betting, with data from 2022 and 2025.

With a nod to all the sporting events that take place in the fall, sharing today’s Chart of the Day from Topley’s Top 10, with data from the Pew Research Center, feels appropriate.

The chart shows the breakdown of the responses to this statement: “Betting on sports is ______ for society,” with the answer choices being "a bad thing," "a good thing," or "neither good or bad." The opinion that betting is "a bad thing for society" increased from 34% in 2022 to 43% in 2025. 

This increase is occurring all the while online betting has become even more popular. If this opinion trend increases to over 50%, there is a risk that sports betting may be limited or curtailed through the legislative process, as there is not a lot of support for it with only 7% saying it’s "a good thing", and 50% saying it’s "neither good nor bad."
