Online sportsbooks offer betting lines to players over 18 by operating offshore and outside of the United States. Domestic sports betting states typically only accept bets from residents over the age of 21; however, few states offer those lines to 18+ players.
There is no doubt that betting on the Super Bowl is one of the most significant betting events of the year. According to CNBC, more than 26 million Americans bet on Super Bowl LV, wagering more than $6.8 billion. This year with more domestic options available to Americans, that number will surely be surpassed.
