History

Historical Context

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), enacted in 1992, banned state-sanctioned sports betting, impacting leagues like the NBA and NFL. In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled PASPA unconstitutional, allowing states to legalize sports betting. This shift has led to significant revenue growth, with regulated sportsbooks generating over $300 billion in bets and prompting ongoing discussions about responsible gambling practices.
