Where Is Sports Betting Legal? All 50 U.S. States In-Depth Review

The legal Sportsbetting in the United States has grown rapidly in more than five years since the Supreme Court abolished the 1992 professional Amateur Sports Protection Law (Paspa). Not all states have introduced sports betting yet, but the number of places where Americans can do legal sports betting is increasing year by year.

Is Sports Betting Legal in the U.S.?

Key Legislative Takeaways

• More than a quarter century has passed since the United States banned sports betting, and the Supreme Court has ruled that the PASPA Federal Ban Law has infringed the state sovereignty and is illegal, and the law has been abolished. You can now determine whether sports betting is legalized.
• As of August 2024, 38 states and regions have implemented legal sports betting in the United States, of which some have submitted bills, focusing on sports betting or sportsbating. There is.
• Most of the states aim to introduce legal sports betting, but the approach to sports betting is very different. The tax rate, the number of licenses, the target markets, etc. are the most notable areas where the approaches of each state are very different.

U.S. Supreme Court Legal Ruling

The groundbreaking Federal Supreme Court case in New Jersey has completely changed the situation of sports betting.

The Murphy vs. the National Sports Association Litigation was a sports gambling sponsored by the Federal Governor Philip D. Murphy, who has taken over this lawsuit in New Jersey, who has taken over this lawsuit by the Federal Government. It was something I was trying to admit.

Christie had previously called for the abolition of the law, but had considered a considerable resistance from major professional sports leagues and NCAA. However, in 2017, the Supreme Court claims that the Supreme Court violates the Paspa (principle that Congress cannot give instructions (such as sports gaming illegal) except for direct orders in the Constitution). I agreed to hear the prosecution that was mainly assembled.

The Supreme Court has been abolished on May 14, 2018, in favor of the Supreme Court, and as expected, New Jersey was one of the first states that adopted the bill.

Potential Sports Betting States

Alabama

Online sports betting prohibition

No retail sports betting

Key points: Sweet Home Alabama? Sports betting is not yet. Despite the unite and effort to pass the gambling bill, Alabama Sports Betting is more of a desire rather than reality. In March 2024, the Alabama Congress passed a lottery bill that excluded sportsbetting from the agenda, and it is unlikely that the introduction of betting in the state is imminent.

Highlights:

• March 7, 2024: After a tense and lengthy session, the Alabama Senate passes a gambling bill that does not include sports betting or casino gambling.

• February 15, 2024: The Alabama House of Representatives approves two bills (HB 151 and HB 152) that would allow legal sports betting, casinos, and a state lottery.

• November 23, 2023: After more than a year and a half in which two sports betting bills failed to pass the Senate, lawmakers see multiple gaming bills being introduced in the next legislative period starting in early 2024.

Update: Sports betting in Alabama is on hold in 2024 after the Senate and House could not reach an agreement on amendments to HB 151. The gap was not bridged in conference committee, leaving sports betting legalization in limbo until 2025 at the earliest.

California

Online sports betting prohibition

No retail sports betting

Key points The story unfolding in California sports betting is comparable to a movie script. As lawmakers and tribal nations in the state clash over how to roll out sports betting, the nation's most populous state can only watch as tens of millions of Americans in other jurisdictions legally place wagers every month.

Highlights:

• November 17, 2023: More than 50 members of the California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) formally oppose two sports betting initiatives filed with the Attorney General. "All efforts around these initiatives have been treated with abhorrence by the initiative sponsors," CNIGA President James Siva said in a press release.

• November 8, 2022: Voters overwhelmingly reject both sports betting initiatives (Proposition 26 and Proposition 27).

• May 3, 2022: The California Homelessness Solutions and Mental Health Assistance Act, supported by several major sportsbooks, surpasses the 1. 6 million signatures needed to qualify for the November ballot. Unfortunately, tribal nations also seeking to introduce online sports betting in California have chosen to support the California American Indian Lands Sports Betting Legalization Initiative instead.

Latest information: Mr. Shiva, who appeared on the podcast "The New Normal" in late June 2024, was legally a California tribe in the state that the Supreme Court rejected the certificate in the West Fragler incident. He said it would not affect how to proceed on gambling.

Georgia

Online sports betting prohibition

No retail sports betting

Marks: The introduction of legal sports betting in Georgia must wait at least one year. Before the state parliament was closed, the members could not pass the two bills through the House of Representatives Regulations, so legal sports gambling will be held in peaches at the earliest after 2025. That's right.

Highlights:

• February 28, 2024: The Georgia Congress has passed the Senate Resolution 579 and is one step closer to a state slip that determines whether voters want to legalize sports gambling in the state.

• February 1, 2024: The Georgia State Senometage has passed the Sport Betting bill SB386. However, it has a correction clause that voters need to approve the bill in a referendum during the 2024 election period to pass the bill.

• March 29, 2023: The state of the state does not vote on the revised House of Representatives bill 237, and the legal sports betting in Georgia will be cut off this year.

Latest Information: Georgia's House of Representatives closed the parliamentary period in 2024 without passing the SR579 and SB386.

Missouri

Online sports betting prohibition

No retail sports betting

Maintenance: In the case of "sooner or later," Georgia is finally trying to introduce a sports betting bill. Although the neighboring state has been ahead, Missouri has a reason to be optimistic in 2024 (or 2025), when the House of Representatives 2331 passes the parliament.

Highlights:

• February 28, 2024: The coalition of Missouri is moving forward to take the Sports Betting Initiative in 2024 voting. As of the end of February, the Missouri State Education has secured a signature of 100, 000 people.

• 2024 February 12, 2024: The Missouri House of Representatives has passed the House of Representatives bill 2331 and moved one step further to legalize the sports gambling in the state.

• February 12, year. Miss submitted a bill 852 and SB 824 to legalize sports gambling to Missouri.

Breaking News: Pro-vote advocates dismiss claims that the sports betting vote was improperly handled. In late August 2024, Missouri Victory for Education hit back at the allegations just a little over a week before the trial on whether to include a sports betting referendum on the state's November ballot was set to return to court.

Minnesota

Online sports betting prohibition

No retail sports betting

Key Points: While the announcement of Minnesota Sports Betting Act 2. 0 may have initially generated a lot of excitement, sports betting is unfortunately far from a reality in the state. Sen. Jordan Rasmussen's impressive amendment aimed at banning in-game wagering was seen by most sports betting advocates (especially retired Rep. Pat Garofolo) as the end of any hope that Minnesota would ever adopt a sports betting bill.

Highlights:

• March 6, 2024 Citing a commitment to responsible gaming, Rasmussen's amendment was quickly approved by the Senate Commerce Committee, placing a significant cap on potential tax revenues from sports betting in Minnesota, likely drawing resistance from sportsbooks looking to set up shop in the state.

• February 13, 2024: Governor Tim Walz told reporters he was prepared to sign a sports betting bill if it passed his desk. "I think the question is, can we get it through both the House and Senate? If we do, I'm saying I'll sign it."

• January 19, 2024: Senator Jeremy Miller introduces Minnesota Sports Betting Act 2. 0.

Last Update: Time has run out for Minnesota to introduce legal sports betting in 2024. A last-ditch effort to pass a sports betting bill failed when the House failed to vote on it within the May 19 legislative deadline.

Oklahoma

Online sports betting prohibition

No retail sports betting

Key points: The introduction of two sports betting bills -- one new and one backlogged from 2023 -- may have given Oklahoma bettors a sense of optimism. There remains a significant divide between lawmakers and the state's tribal nations, who hold exclusive gaming rights and were hesitant to adopt either bill introduced earlier this year.

Highlights:

• February 6, 2024: Senator Casey Murdock introduces Senate Bill 1434, a separate but similar bill to House Bill 1027.

• April 18, 2023: House Bill 1027 misses its deadline to be introduced in the Senate before the end of the state legislative session, ending any hope of legal sports betting in Oklahoma in 2023.

• February 7, 2023: Rep. Ken Luttrell and Sen. Bill Coleman introduce House Bill 1027, which would allow online and in-person sports betting in Oklahoma.

Update: Speaking on a panel at the National Gaming State Legislators Conference in Pittsburgh in July, Cherokee Nation Gaming Committee Chairman John Sparks said tribes and state governments are still at odds over the Tribal Gaming Compact, which remains a major barrier to passing meaningful sports betting legislation.

Online sports betting prohibition

No retail sports betting

In dramatic fashion, the Texas House on Thursday gave final approval to a bill that would let voters decide whether to legalize online sports betting statewide.

The proposal needed 100 votes to pass, and it received exactly that number when it was first called. In a subsequent vote confirmation, which took the clerk several minutes to confirm all the members, there were 101 votes in favor of House Joint Resolution 102.

The resolution is one of two gambling expansion proposals that have topped the House floor over the past two days. The other, more ambitious bill, House Joint Resolution 155, would let voters decide whether to legalize casinos in Texas. Final discussion of the measure was postponed until noon on Friday as proponents continued their efforts to garner 100 votes.

But both bills have struggled in the Senate, where Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has repeatedly said they don't have enough support. And with a Friday deadline for final House passage, the casino bill is running out of time.

In dramatic vote, Texas House approves online sports betting measure

The House initially approved both bills on Wednesday, but they didn't get the two-thirds majority needed to amend the Texas Constitution, leaving both chambers in precarious positions heading into Thursday.

Representative Jeff Reach (Republican Party, Prano Selection), a submit to the sports betting bill, is a final speech at the parliament on Thursday, and many of Texas have already sported, but it is illegal. I emphasized repeatedly.

"In the Texas State Law, sports betting is a criminal without one person, and it is a criminal, and that the establishment of this bill can be driven out of the shadow and regulate it carefully and safely. "

The Sports Betting bill was able to meet 100 votes after several members changed voting on Thursday. At least five votes on Thursday after voting against the day before.

The day before, the lower house passed the casino bill 92 to 51 and passed the Sports Betting bill for 97 to 44. Both resolutions require more than tw o-thirds of the Upper House and the approval of voters to revise in the state constitution.

The voting in the lower house has been a progress since the gaming advocacy group developed a lobby two years ago and boarded Austin. Las Vegas Sands, the casino empire, is particularly aggressive, spending millions of dollars on lobbyist, television advertising, and election dates.

The proposal for expanding the gambling remained only in the House of Representatives Committee's hearing in 2021, and the Senate did not even hold public hearings.

Sportsbetting proposals are supported by the Texas professional sports team and the betting platform coalition.

The opposition to this proposal came from various angles. The most opposed voice was Mats Shahine, a member of the House of Representatives, and he had opposed the latest promotion of gambling expansion from the beginning. He warned that if Texas legalized the casino, the number of sexual crimes and domestic violence would be "eel climb."

"This bill doesn't go anywhere." The Senate is not open. The Senate is not open.

Representative Martinez Fischer (San Antonio), a member of the House of Representatives Democratic Party, opposed both proposals and said that the process was too hurry.

I am not "opposition" but "the opposite now". "Let's take the time to do it properly."

According to Daallas, a c o-submit to the casino proposal, said on Wednesday, "Probably not perfect, but we will increase the perfection as we make a bill every day. "

The most controversial on Wednesday was the casino bill. The bill provides at least eight casino gambling licenses in the Destine Resort in Texas, and gives priority in metropolitan areas where horse racing is already approved. Sports betting is also legalized.

Proposist Charlie Slain, Representative Charlie Slain, said that the bill would lead to a "worl d-class casino" with shopping and entertainment. He also emphasized that it will be realized only when voters have approved.

"This is to entrust voters to judge the voters," said Fortworth's selection.

Mr. Slain has revised the bill and decided to use 80 % of the new tax revenue from the casino to increase the salary of public school teachers and coordinate the living expenses for retirement teachers. In addition, in order to respond to geographical concerns, we also accepted amendments, such as acquiring casino licenses in the Austin area.

However, the slope was opposed from various directions. Eagle Pass elected members of the Eddie Molares Junior Council called for a bill to eliminate casino licenses for traditional tribes, Texas. The tribe has warned that Lucky Eagle Casino in the Eagle Pass could have a great hit by setting a casino license in the San Antonio area where many customers live.

Morales's correction was caught by a proceedings on the proceedings by Rep. Morales ultimately stated that "My constituency will be catastrophic," and voted opposed to the whole proposal.

Tyler's election Mats Shafer, a member of the House of Representatives, called on a jab to Sands to revise the bill to exclude a casino business operator in China and the other three countries. Sands has multiple facilities in Macau, a special administrative district of China, and Shafir is concerned that the company is concerned that there is a "conflict of interest to reconnect" with the communist government.

The slope persuaded the House of Representatives to apply exclusion regulations only to "mainland China", and addressed the amendment.

Casino proposal gets strong reaction

The debate over the sports betting bill was smoother. The creator Reach claimed that it was "not gambling" and said that it was just an effort to regulate illegal online sports betting in Texas.

Reach has accepted the basic bill to raise gambling tax from 10 % to 15 %, including the National Lacrosse League.

Latulas of the Eedinberg, Representative Terry Canales, said that it fully supports the bill and gives Texas a "freedom" of spending money.

"I don't make a casino with this bill." I admit that people will play an accidental game, just like the online trading of stocks. "What is the difference?

Shahine has expressed the opposition to online sports betting as "worse" than a casino because anyone can connect to the Internet.

Most of the Republican members opposed the casino bills, supporting the proposal for sports betting.

Patrick's coolness against gambling has greatly influenced the discussion in the House of Representatives. Patrick does not show any substantial opposition to these proposals, but has repeatedly neglected the outlook in the parliament.

In the Senate, Lois Corkhorst, a member of the Republican Republican Senator Senator Senator, was in charge of the Sports Betting Council. The committee's hearing has not been held yet.

Online betting “not an expansion of gambling"

Patrick pointed out that Cork Heast's Sports Betting bill has only gained support from several other Senate members, with Cork Heast's sports betting bills in the current council.

In late March, Patrick said, "No member of the Diet has already signed a vote," said Patrick.

The gaming advocate has regarded Dade Ferran House of Representatives as the most obedient state leader in gambling. Republican member of the Beaumont states has been in charge of the constituency at the state border with Louisiana, the legal Casino, and has stated that there is no problem in attracting a casino to Texas since 2021. There is.

Greg Abotto Governor Greg Abot also resisted gambling a few years ago, but is now positive to the expansion of gambling. The governor said that he is ready to consider "very specialized entertainment options" along with Sands's promoted desestation resorts.
