,stat4 #dbbg7 to ban sports wagering in most ,states1 finding that sports gambling conducted pursuant to ,state law threatens the integrity and character of1 and public confidence in1 professional and

service marks of such organizations44 7#b7 ,on ,may #ad1 #bjah1 the ,supreme ,court of the ,united ,states held in ,murphy v4 ,,ncaa1 #ach ,s4 ,ct4 #adfa 7#bjah71 that the prohibition of ,state authorization and licensing of sports wagering schemes under the ,professional and ,amateur ,sports ,protection ,act 7,public ,law #ajb-eei2 #ajf ,stat4 #dbbg7 violates the #ajth ,amendment to the

annually on ,united ,states sporting events4 7#g7 ,the estimated size of the illegal sports wagering market suggests that the laws and enforcement efforts that for decades have sought to curtail illegal sports wagering have come up short4 7#h7 ,the expansion of legal sports wagering after the decision in ,murphy v4 ,,ncaa1 #ach ,s4 ,ct4 #adfa 7#bjah71 presents an opportunity to significantly reduce the illegal sports wagering market by pairing enhanced authority for law enforcement to shut down the illegal sports wagering market with policies that incentivize participants in the illegal sports wagering market to shift their activity into the legal sports wagering market1 as available1 so that such activity can be appropriately regulated and taxed4 7#i7 ,all forms of gaming have historically been regulated predominantly at the ,state level1 but sports wagering1 which often involves individuals across numerous ,states placing sports wagers on a sporting event that takes place in yet another ,state1 affects interstate commerce more than other forms of gaming that are generally contained within the walls of a gaming establishment4 7#aj7 ,while each ,state may decide whether to permit sports wagering and how to regulate sports wagering1 there is an important role for ,congress to set standards for sports wagering and provide law enforcement with additional authority to
