History

Historical Context

The U.S. Supreme Court's 2018 ruling in Murphy v. NCAA invalidated the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, which had banned sports betting in most states. This decision enabled states like New Jersey to legalize sports betting, generating over $300 million in revenue by 2020. As of 2023, 37 states have legalized sports betting, reflecting a significant shift in gambling regulations.
