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 states like New Jersey to legalize sports betting, which had been restricted since 1992. By 2023, over $20 billion had been wagered nationwide, reflecting a significant shift in gambling acceptance and state revenue generation.
