Now, sports betting is completely legal in several different forms. The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) once made it impossible for US-based operators to enter the sports betting market, which resulted in a thriving offshore industry. Prohibitions that once plagued the industry are no longer an issue, giving the sports gambling industry the ability to expand for the first time in decades, with many legal sportsbooks taking US players available.
Legal sports betting in the US has become a trending topic as of late, largely due to the change in the federal landscape.
