Unlike brick-and-mortar gambling, online activities are easier to access. This is one of the prime reasons why online and mobile sports betting has been gaining traction across more states.
The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992 restricted sports betting activities in Nevada. PASP was active until 2018, when the US Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional. Now, more than 30 US states offer some form of sports wagering.
Report suggests that the legalization of online gambling may continue to expand to more US states this year. Illinois is one of the major markets that may be looking to legalize online gaming activities. The state made a strong push for its Illinois Internet Gaming Act back in 2021 but the efforts somewhat dragged in 2022. It is likely that this topic will be up for discussion this time. The legalization can help create a new revenue stream and boost player protection. Jerome is a journalist with years of experience in the iGaming sector.
