The Supreme Court published its first list of cases it will take up this term Thursday — unsurprisingly, no prediction market cases are on it yet. The court could take one up at some point this term, but probably not in the coming weeks.

The court had been asked to consider two different cases about whether states could apply their gambling laws to sports event contracts. The Third Circuit ruled that New Jersey could not do so, while the Ninth Circuit ruled that Nevada could enforce its sports betting laws. New Jersey asked the Supreme Court to consider its appeal of the Third Circuit ruling, via a petition for writ of certiorari, while Robinhood did the same for the Ninth Circuit.
