Mobile betting is legal in Nevada and most local sportsbook operators offer online betting apps that can be accessed from anywhere within state lines. In all, Nevada is home to 185 sportsbooks spread across the state. Today, most casinos in Nevada host a retail sportsbook and an associated mobile sports betting app that offer wagers on a full menu of professional leagues, college sports and, in some cases, horse racing events. Even so, Nevada still has the most developed sports betting industry in the nation controlled by operators with decades’ worth of experience. The 2018 Supreme Court ruling that struck down PASPA cleared the path for other states to legalize sports betting, thereby ending Nevada’s monopoly. As the traditional home of sports betting in the US, Nevada operated for decades as the only jurisdiction with full-fledged sports betting due to the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 ( PASPA).
