The arguments surrounding sports betting have been circulating for quite some time now, but legislatures have now voted against a federal sports betting law in a ruling ratio of 6-3. Supreme Court officials have been vocal about how they feel that states should be able to independently choose their own regulations and standards surrounding sports betting, and instating a federal law would simply get in the way of this in the long-run, causing much more hassle.
Key Takeaways:
- The ruling resulted in six votes against the regulation, and three votes for it.
- The Supreme Court is concerned that if they regulate sports betting on a federal level, it will impact the state regulations.
- This case was originally taken by the Supreme Court after the infamous Chris Christie case.
“The Supreme Court struck down a federal law that prohibits sports gambling Monday in a landmark decision that gives states the go-ahead to legalize betting on sports.”
