The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia struck down a portion of Delaware's plan to allow sports betting in the state.
The court found that the Delaware plan would violate the 1992 federal law prohibiting any sports betting, with an exemption available to states that employed sports wagering from 1976 to 1990.
However, the court prohibited only the attempt to permit single-game betting, which was not part of the Delaware's original plan back in 1976. Multi-game betting was part of that plan.
The NFL is also challenging whether a multi-game betting program violates the Delaware Constitution in a separate suit.
