“D” Day Coming for U.S. Sports Betting

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about U.S. sports betting in the New Jersey case on December 4th.

However, the state of New Jersey won the right to appeal the case to the Supreme…

Supreme Court in Limbo Over New Jersey Sports Betting

Monday was expected to be the day the U.S. Supreme Court would announce whether it will hear New Jersey’s years-long effort to legalize sports betting at casinos and racetracks. But a decision never came, either for or against the state. Now, experts say, the nation’s highest court could make an announcement Tuesday — though even that is uncertain. “This is the Groundhog Day of sports betting,” joked Daniel Wallach, a gaming and sports law attorney with Becker & Poliakoff in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Set to take a summer recess, the Supreme Court discussed the case in a “cleanup conference” on…
