Delaware to appeal Sports Lottery Ruling to US Supreme Court
Apparently, it’s not over yet folks.
Though the State has yet to publish an official release on their website, Governor Markell’s office has reportedly confirmed that the First State will petition the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in August that shot down Delaware’s plan to offer single game betting on all sports.
The state expects to file its appeal by the end of the month, then will wait to hear if the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case.
We’ll keep you posted with any official press release from the State and as to any response from the professional sports leagues and the NCAA.

Thanks for the update. I’ll be sure to check back and see what the outcome is. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
We’re glad that you found this information interesting Joey; we did too given that that parlay bets raised more revenue that anticipated by the administration. I guess that explains it…
