UIGEA: How a 2006 Law Still Shapes America’s Sports Betting Future
In this special edition of Double Down with Breslo, narrator Todd M. Schoenberger revisits a pivotal moment in sports gambling history — the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006, signed as part of the SAFE Port Act. This legislation didn’t ban online gambling outright; instead it targeted financial transactions with offshore operators, triggering widespread industry upheaval and the exodus of many major platforms from U.S. markets.
Fast forward to 2025, and we’re living in a transformed landscape: 35 states have legalized sports wagering, offering a boom in regulated online platforms and brick-and-mortar sportsbooks. While UIGEA originally fired the first shot, today’s markets are shaped by state-by-state legalization, Supreme Court rulings, and proactive measures ensuring consumer protection and generating billions in tax revenues.
Join us for a dynamic look back at UIGEA’s legacy and a forward glance at how these laws still ripple through today’s multi-billion dollar sports betting industry.
