Legalized Sports Betting Industry
“The brave new world of legalized sports betting” from NJgames.org.
The newly legalized sports betting industry is broken down in the Sports Techie community blog by this infographic, “The brave new world of legalized sports betting” from NJgames.org. It outlines the latest state-by-state legislation, projected economic impact, monetization information, and stats. Leagues and casinos cheered when the US Supreme Court ruled against the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) enacted in 1992. As a result of the ruling in May, each state now has the right to decide on whether to legalize betting on sports, or not. This information also focuses on real-time sports data and future trends like betting on eSports, artificial Intelligence and blockchain technologies.
Big Money
States are well aware that sports betting is expected to contribute $22.4 billion to the US GDP. Citizens across New Jersey, Mississippi and Delaware recently joined the sport wagering folks already in Nevada with the right to do so. Before this ruling, Las Vegas was the sports betting capital of America. Today, sports gambling is legal in seven states. Sixteen more have introduced a bill. Sports betting is change the bottom line for states.
This NJgames.org infographic looks at sports betting legalization and the projected impact on the US economy. Generating $208 billion for 2018, sports wagering will generate trillions in the foreseeable future. The notion that sports betting operations will increase the amount of direct and indirect jobs by a possible 200,000 makes financial sense.
