Supreme Court Overturns PASPA, Paving Way for States to Determine Sports Betting Legality
“The legalization of sports gambling requires an important policy choice, but the choice is not ours to make,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion. “Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each state is free to act on its own.”
States will be able to decide for themselves if they want to permit sports betting. This is HUGE news for states who have been blocked from offering sports betting until now.
It is yet to be seen if this opens any doors for US poker players down the line - but it gives us a bit of hope where there has been very little.
