Land-based sports betting has been legal in the U.S. state of Nevada since 1949. When the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) was passed by Congress in 1992, Nevada was handed a legal monopoly on single-game wagering in the United States. Meaning that for decades it was possible to play college sports betting, MLB sports betting, NBA sports betting, and live and off-track horse betting in the state. Nowadays, sports betting has also been legalized in other U.S. states, however, Nevada still accounts for a sizable portion of the nationwide sports betting revenue. In October 2021, Nevada had a sports betting handle of 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, up from the previous month's total of 786.51 million U.S. dollars.
