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 enabled New Jersey to legalize sports betting, following earlier efforts by Governor Chris Christie in 2012. The ruling has since led to 38 states adopting similar regulations, significantly transforming the gambling landscape and raising concerns about consumer protection.
