Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'PASPA'

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, a federal law that effectively banned sports betting nationwide in the United States except in states where it was already legal. PASPA remained in effect until 2018 when the Supreme Court struck it down in Murphy v. NCAA, allowing individual states to legalize and regulate sports gambling. This legislation represents a significant intersection of federal authority, state rights, and the regulation of gambling in American history.
