NFL Cross-border sports betting between Canada and the USA

The state of New Jersey is, according to many, the center of the sports betting industry in the United States of America. Since June 14, 2018, when the first legal bet took place in this state, this business blossomed.

Having seen this, other states rushed to make betting legal on their territory, and at the moment, 42 of them allowed or are in the process of legalizing sports betting. The income from such an industry generated from various taxes and fees, is massive, and it makes a big impact on the state in general and the local communities.

For the residents of those territories who didn’t legalize sports betting, including Canada, there is now a possibility of placing their picks in some other states. And that is the beauty of modern era progress. You can use your mobile or PC for online wagers, or if you like road trips, jump to one of the states with legalized betting and stake your money. You won’t have any problems while doing so, because sportsbook like these that accept bets state-side are now legal.

For instance, the person living in Wisconsin can now bet in Illinois, regardless of it whether that is online or not, even though his state didn’t approve sports betting.

Why did we mention Wisconsin? Well, that is because they have the Green Bay Packers, and we all know how popular this team is. Apart from that, with Aaron Rodgers healthy, and Davante Adams downfield, the Packs are among one of the best teams in the NFL.

Therefore a lot of those fans would like to put some money on Green Bay winning the Super Bowl. After all, eight years have passed since the last title, and many believe that the time has come for that to happen again.

The same goes for the fans in Canada. Many of them made cross-border bets for the recent Grey Cup between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Online betting is not legal in this country, but it isn’t preventing the bettors from making wagers at online platforms that are not based in Canada. And that is good news for all those who like to stake a few bucks on their favorite team.

And it is not only about who is going to win the Grey Cup or the Super Bowl; there are plenty of other bets you can take, regardless of whether they may be outright picks or something else.

A situation like this opens up a whole bunch of possibilities for the Canadian punters. Now, they have more opportunities and offers at their disposal, and are in a position to exercise various types of betting.

They are able to access the biggest European bookmaker brands who are now entering the US market and are aggressively fighting for their share of the profits. Such a competition created a pleasant environment for the punters who can choose now where to place their bets, and in return, have fat bonuses and welcome offers.

All this is now available to Canadian residents. So they better be ready for the next CFL season, because the bookmakers will.
