Preliminary injunction to immediately halt Delaware sports betting is denied
The professional sports leagues and the NCAA bid to halt Delaware’s planned sports betting lottery suffered a setback yesterday when their request for a preliminary injunction to immediately halt any plans for betting was denied.
Judge Gregory Sleet also announced that he’d rule on the leagues’ request for a summary judgment in their favor by November.
The lawsuit, which claims that the sports betting plan violates a federal ban on sports gambling, as well as Delaware’s state constitution, is set to begin trial on Dec. 7.
