U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued an order Thursday that will keep the Florida Seminoles from launching their Hard Rock Bet sports betting platform, at least for now. The order is the first activity from the Supreme Court since Florida parimutuel West Flagler and Associates (WFA) filed with the court Oct. 6 asking for a stay and further communicating its intention to file a writ of certiorari.
In the order, Roberts requires a response from the defendant, the U.S. Department of the Interior, by 5 p.m. on Oct. 18. After that, the court will rule on whether or not to keep the stay in place.
