US Sports Betting Law

Sports betting became a reality in the United States in 2018, when a Supreme Court ruling overturned a 1992 federal law.

This norm prohibited the activity in part of the North American states, allowing the advance of legalization.

But, the regulation of betting is up to each state, as well as other sensitive matters.

Today, 34 of the 50 states have some form of market release.

The state of Nevada, home to the city of Las Vegas, the American gambling capital, was one of the first to regulate sports betting.

In contrast, governments such as Delaware and South Dakota allow betting, but only if done in person.

At the end of last year, the population of California decided to reject the proposed legalization of sports betting in the state.
