Is betting on college basketball legal?
Yes, betting on college basketball–and other sports–is legal depending on the state in which you are located. Until May of 2018 there was a federal ban on sports betting in the United States, but that changed when the US Supreme Court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. Now the issue is up to the individual states. Many states have introduced bills to legalize sports betting, while others have bills in the works to do the same either on a full scale or at least in a limited capacity. There are some states, however, that have indicated no move toward legalizing sports betting and might never.
