History

Historical Context

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992 banned sports betting in most states, allowing only Nevada to operate legally. New Jersey's attempts to legalize sports betting culminated in a 2018 Supreme Court ruling that deemed PASPA unconstitutional, leading to a surge in legal sports betting across the U.S., with over $300 billion wagered in less than six years.
