That tactic won't work under PASPA, only Nevada can regulate actual sportsbetting.

"The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (Pub.L. 102–559), also known as the "Bradley Act," attempts to define the legal status of sports betting throughout the United States. This act effectively outlawed sports betting nationwide, excluding a few states.
The sports lotteries conducted in Oregon, Delaware, and Montana were exempt, as well as the licensed sports pools in Nevada. In addition, Congress provided a one-year window of opportunity from the effective date of PASPA (January 1, 1993) for states which operated licensed casino gaming for the previous ten-year period to pass laws permitting sports wagering. The latter exception was clearly crafted with New Jersey in mind. However, New Jersey failed to take advantage of this opportunity and carve out an exception for itself. Also excluded from the reach of PASPA are jai alai and parimutuel horse and dog racing."
The Third Circuit has granted a rehearing to New Jersey on its attempt to authorize sportsbetting, blocked by injunctive relief obtained below by the NFL and other Leagues. The outcome could affect authorization of DFS under the PASPA. .
Stay tuned.
