I dont care about other states, Jersey repealed its sports gambling laws in regards to racetracks and casinos, which basically means the racetracks and the casinos make up their own rules. Will Hill is in charge of Monmouth and they have quite a large stake in sports books in Nevada, why would Will Hill not allow exactly the same rules as their sports books in Vegas?
I will be the same in Jersey, sans pesky state intervention.
Its not state regulated, authorized or licensed per their arguments in front of SCOTUS. Basically Jersey is asking for the feds to leave Jersey alone to make its own laws and keep their noses out of Jersey's gambling businesses. (10th Amendment issues). If the Jersey wants to repeal their laws its none of the feds nor the sports leagues business.

One of the things that makes this so fascinating. In harness racing terms, Jersey has done all the work to "cut the mile" - it's be a shame to see a federal repeal ushered in on their backs. Let Jersey have its statutory victory, and then when the rush of other cases surely follow, consider a federal repeal. That year or two where jersey will have the entire east coast market to itself would be huge for them, and fitting given their role in this fight.
