On Monday, December 4, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on New Jersey's challenge (Christie v. National Collegiate Athletic Association) to the constitutionality of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992. This law effectively bans traditional sports betting outside of Nevada.
“In recent weeks, we have driven increased attention to this important issue, participating in forums in New York and Washington, D.C. and shaping the media narrative to ensure our industry’s position is reaching key influencers,” said Freeman.
“We will be inside the Courtroom on Monday, and will provide additional insight to you about the oral arguments and potential outcomes following the hearing. This is an exciting time for the casino gaming industry and the AGA is committed to securing this multi-billion dollar growth opportunity,“ Freeman concluded.
