The U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals — the main battleground on two occasions in the six-year legal wrangling that led to the U.S. Supreme Court in May 2018 invalidating a 26-year-old federal law that gave a virtual monopoly to Nevada regarding sports betting — is preparing to take on another notable gambling case.
Attorneys for both Sam A. Antar, a self-described compulsive gambler and heir to the “Crazy Eddie” consumer electronics company fortune who lost tens of millions of dollars from online casino wagers, and iCasino operator BetMGM, which was sued by Antar for allegedly improperly enabling his behavior, were notified this week of the terms of a Dec. 10 oral argument before the court in the Albert Branson Maris Courtroom in Philadelphia.
