A New Jersey state appellate court Friday rejected an appeal from BetMGM et al in a case in which a customer says the company allowed a VIP to enter a promotional contest late. Also on Friday, the trial date in Murk v BetMGM et al was shifted from Jan. 26, 2025 to March 9, 2026 in the state’s superior court, Atlantic Division. BetMGM appealed ahead of that trial date.

In its three-sentence ruling on BetMGM’s request to dismiss the case, the appellate court left open the door for BetMGM to take the more customary route and appeal following a final superior court decision in the case.
