Delaware Sports Betting Law Ruled Illegal
Washington Post
A sports betting law in Delaware is in violation of a federal prohibition against sports gambling a federal appeals court ruled Monday. The Delaware legislation had been challenged by the NFL NBA NHL Major League Baseball and the NCAA in a lawsuit. Delaware was exempted from the federal ban on sports gambling.
