America’s legal sports betting hopes remain in limbo after the US Supreme Court appeared to ignore New Jersey’s challenge of the federal sports betting prohibition.

On Monday, the Court issued its Orders List spelling out which cases it will consider during the Court’s 2017 term, which begins this October. Among the cases hoping to be included on this list was New Jersey’s appeal of lower court rulings blocking its plans to allow legal sports betting at Atlantic City casinos and state racetracks.

But while New Jersey’s case doesn’t appear on the Court’s list of cases it intends to hear, it also doesn’t appear on the much larger list of petitions that the Court has explicitly rejected. This leaves open the possibility that the Court could address the issue via a supplemental ‘miscellaneous order’ at some future date. The case could also be ‘relisted’ for consideration in a future Court term.

In 2014, the Court refused to hear New Jersey’s previous petition regarding its original sports betting legislation, but the Court signaled its interest in the current case in January by asking the Solicitor General to file a brief detailing the federal government’s official position. The Solicitor General urged the court to reject New Jersey’s petition, but it’s anyone’s guess as to whether the Court chose to heed this advice.
