History

Historical Context

In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, declaring the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act unconstitutional. This landmark decision allowed New Jersey to legalize sports betting, following earlier efforts dating back to a 2011 voter referendum. As of 2023, 38 states have legalized sports betting, significantly reshaping the gambling landscape and local economies.
