The US sports betting industry has undergone significant changes over the last decade, driven by the Supreme Court's 2018 decision to lift the federal ban on sports wagering. This has led to a surge in states legalizing and regulating sports betting, resulting in a more structured environment that prioritizes consumer protection, responsible gambling, and state revenue. The industry has become more accepting and committed to ensuring fair play and protecting consumers through comprehensive regulations, integrity measures, and technological advancements.
