In 2017 $150 billion was wagered on sports in the U.S., with nearly all of it coming through illegal channels. Since the 2018 Supreme Court decision overturning the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PASPA”), 8 States have legalized sports betting with features like pointsbet promo code and another 23 States are racing to pass laws to legalize it. What was once just a brick-and-mortar niche limited mainly to Las Vegas has exploded into a nationwide industry. Gaming and gambling can also happen online through trusted websites like OnlineCasinoGames.com .
Gaming and gambling in the United States is a big business, worth $240 billion as of 2017. As gaming and gambling have spread and grown, so too have the associated laws and regulations. Most recently, fantasy sports have taken center stage in the world of online gaming, with over 56 million players, nearly $20 billion in annual spending, and intense scrutiny from state attorneys general, legislatures, class-action lawyers, and federal prosecutors.

- What does a sports betting and gaming lawyer do?
- A sports betting and gaming lawyer navigates the licensing, compliance, and commercial deals in a heavily regulated industry. We advise operators, platforms, teams, and sponsors on state-by-state requirements, structure partnership and sponsorship deals, and handle advertising and consumer-protection rules. The work is as much regulatory strategy as it is contract drafting.
- How does PARRON LAW help clients in sports betting and gaming?
- We help operators, sports properties, and sponsors enter and grow in the betting and gaming space cleanly. We structure sponsorship and integration deals, advise on multi-jurisdiction compliance and advertising rules, and negotiate the commercial agreements that connect books, leagues, and media. Our sports and business background lets us see both the regulatory and the deal side at once.
- When do I need legal counsel for a betting or gaming venture?
- Engage counsel before you launch, market, or sign a partnership in the betting and gaming space, because the rules vary sharply by state and change often. Getting licensing, advertising, and consumer terms right up front avoids enforcement actions and voided deals. We map the regulatory landscape before you commit capital.
