Nevada legalized sports gambling in 1949 alongside live and off-track horse gambling. It had been the first state to govern sports gambling, which had formerly functioned under organized crime syndicates. It was the only nation to do this until recently.
Congress passed the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in 1992, which prohibited future state growth of sports betting. Nevada was grandfathered in, so it was essentially handed a lawful US monopoly on single-game wagering.
States eventually began to challenge that federal ban, however, spearheaded by New Jersey lawmakers and Gov. Chris Christie. Beginning with voter approval in 2011, NJ tried to pass legislation that would have legalized sports gambling at casinos and racetracks. Sports leagues — the NBA, NCAA, NFL, NHL, and MLB — filed suit against the state to obstruct the efforts, however, citing a violation of PASPA.
The ensuing legal battle escalated all the way into the US Supreme Court, finally reaching a settlement on May 14, 2018. A majority of the nine-member court ruled the PASPA commandeers states in breach of the Tenth Amendment, striking the ban in the novels.
As a result, Nevada’s US monopoly on sports betting has seen its last days. Eight other countries offer you a vast selection of legal sports stakes.
