In 2018, the Supreme Court decided a monumental case, Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, which has had devastating consequences far beyond sports and betting.
The court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992, a federal law that prohibited states from sponsoring, operating, advertising, licensing, or authorizing sports gambling schemes. It didn't legalize gambling. The decision restored the authority to regulate or legalize sports betting—including mobile and online sportsbooks—back to individual states.
