History

Historical Context

In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) was unconstitutional, allowing states like New Jersey to legalize sports betting. Following this, New Jersey's Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation permitting sports wagering at casinos and racetracks, with the American Gaming Association estimating potential annual revenues of $6 billion, influencing gambling regulations nationwide.
