Sports Litigation Alert
4 minute read | May.24.2019
Sports betting has flourished in the year since a Supreme Court decision gave states the right to legalize it, with eight states now offering some form of sports betting and almost 30 in various stages of weighing legislation that would do so. Some of the new players are borrowing from existing legal frameworks in states like Nevada and New Jersey that have mature betting industries, while others are establishing their own regulatory compliance schemes. In just the last month, governors in Indiana and Iowa have signed legislation allowing sports betting in those states and authorizing their gaming commissions to regulate sports betting activity. Navigating these varying requirements to take advantage of the emerging opportunities related to sports betting operations will require thoughtful consideration and nimble action.
