US Gambling Bill Tracker: Active & Pending USA Gambling Legislation For 2022
Looking back, 2018 has been a historic year for the legalization of gambling across the United States thanks in large part to the repeal of PASPA and states now having the power to freely decide on whether to legalize betting on sports.
As a result, many of the state legislative bodies have begun the process of presenting gambling bills for sports betting in addition to other gambling-related issues such as online gambling, casino licensing, lotteries, and many others.
We’ve compiled legislative data from all 50 states plus Washington D.C. and have determined which jurisdictions currently have pending gambling legislation. In addition, legislature and governor contact information can be found in the description for each state. The tracker will be updated when any new gambling bills are introduced or when any current bills are passed anywhere in the country.
