#422Across the United States, 11 states have legalized sports betting with seven more to come. Here are all the states where sports betting is legal.
Supreme Court of the United States lifted the federal ban on sports betting on May 14, 2018.
The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act was challenged in court when New Jersey attempted to allow sports betting by working around the federal law. The PASPA gave leagues, such as the NCAA and all four major professional sports leagues, the ability to challenge betting laws in court.
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the PASPA was unconstitutional because it infringed upon states' rights.
