History

Historical Context

In 2018, New Jersey's Supreme Court ruled to legalize sports betting, following a long legal battle against the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992. This landmark decision allowed casinos and racetracks to offer sports betting, significantly boosting state revenues. By 2023, New Jersey generated over $1 billion in sports betting revenue, reflecting a major shift in public perception towards legalized gambling.
