Today marks six years since the U.S. Supreme Court repealed PASPA, allowing widespread legalization of sports betting. Since then, 38 states and Washington, D.C. have legalized sports betting, providing an easy revenue source for states. Initially opposed by sports leagues due to integrity concerns, the leagues have now embraced sports betting. Massachusetts has reported higher than expected sports betting revenue. Additionally, sportsbooks are seeing a surge in MLS bets due to Lionel Messi’s impact since joining Inter Miami.

Six years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court repealed PASPA and opened up the option of widespread legalization of sports betting for U.S. states. What a wild (and sometimes pretty bumpy) ride it’s been so far
Today marks 6 years from Supreme Ct allowing legalized sports betting. What I did expect: states would jump in, easy revenue source. 38 states have now done so. What I didn't expect: sports leagues - who fought against it for decades with "integrity" concerns - would embrace it.
