History

Historical Context

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992 banned sports betting in most states, allowing only Nevada to offer it legally. In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled PASPA unconstitutional, enabling states like New Jersey to regulate sports betting. This shift has led to over $300 billion in sports betting revenue, significantly impacting state economies and the sports industry.
