In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Murphy v.
National Collegiate Athletic Association allowed Congress to
regulate sports wagering directly. If Congress fails to act, the
authority to regulate sports wagering is delegated to the states.
In the absence of federal congressional action, most states have
introduced, and some have passed, legislation that legalizes sports
wagering within their borders. A handful of states have introduced
legislation directly impacts tribal governments who already possess
gaming compacts with the state.
