The wait for a decision on NJ sports betting continues. A ruling in Murphy vs NCAA is expected any time before the US Supreme Court’s summer recess in June.

Looking to cash in as soon as a positive ruling is potentially made are New Jersey casinos, which have been pairing off with sportsbooks to get businesses up and running as soon as possible.

But the MLB and the NBA are knocking at Jersey’s door in search of some sort of regulation to protect the integrity of their respective leagues.

Over the past few months, representatives from the MLB and the NBA have met privately with New Jersey state legislative leaders as well as with the top aide to Gov. Phil Murphy. The parties have reportedly discussed the ramifications of the Supreme Court scrapping a 26-year-old federal prohibition on state-regulated sports betting.

For years, both professional leagues have locked horns with New Jersey. Now, the MLB and the NBA are preparing for what seems like the inevitable: legalized sports betting in New Jersey and across the country.

In a statement, the MLB said that legalized sports betting is “a very real possibility in New Jersey, and we have an obligation to our fans and our sport to provide our perspective to ensure any sports betting operations properly protect the integrity of our game.”
