History

Historical Context

The U.S. Supreme Court's 2018 ruling in Murphy v. NCAA declared the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 unconstitutional, allowing states to legalize sports betting. This decision spurred a rapid expansion of legal sports betting across the country, with states generating over $300 billion in betting volume within six years, significantly transforming fan engagement and revenue in major sports leagues like the NBA and NHL.
