History

Historical Context

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992 prohibited most states from legalizing sports betting. However, in 2018, the Supreme Court ruled PASPA unconstitutional, allowing states to regulate their own betting markets. New Jersey quickly legalized sports betting, generating over $3 billion in its first year, and Missouri followed suit in December 2025, reflecting a growing trend in state-level gambling regulation.
