Alaska: The state came close to legalizing sports gambling in 2020, with Gov. Mike Dunleavy showing support for the bill. But, the COVID-19 pandemic put an end to it and the bill expired in May 2020.
California: One would think that one of the largest states in the country would be one of the first to legalize sports gambling, but the two major propositions on the ballot in 2022 that would have legalized sports betting in the state were voted down by Californians.
