History

Historical Context

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992 banned sports betting in most states, allowing only Nevada and a few others to operate legally. In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled PASPA unconstitutional, enabling states like New Jersey to regulate sports betting, which has since generated over $300 million in tax revenue and transformed the sports gambling landscape across the U.S.
