The 2018 Supreme Court ruling that struck down PASPA cleared the path for other states to legalize sports betting, thereby ending Nevada’s monopoly. As the traditional home of sports betting in the US, Nevada operated for decades as the only jurisdiction with full-fledged sports betting due to the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 ( PASPA).
