During the late 20th century, state-operated lotteries expanded rapidly in the United States. In Europe, state-licensed lotteries began to emerge as well. In some cases, a state may be able to acquire a portion of the money wagered by patrons of its gambling establishments. Lotteries are the most common form of gambling worldwide, and many U.S. states follow in their footsteps as they recognize the benefits of the legalization of online sports betting and gambling. In many countries, state-licensed wagering on other sporting events is also legal.

There are also certain forms of gambling that are outlawed in certain states. California, for example, does not allow sports betting unless it is in conjunction with a pari-mutuel race. In some states, the state constitution prohibits gambling. In other states, gambling is only permitted in certain forms, such as horse racing. In the state of New Jersey, for example, gambling is prohibited except for pari-mutuel wagering, which is only legal for people over the age of 18.
