Wisconsin Tribal Sports Betting Case Set For April 20

WAUKESHA, Wis. – The challenge to Wisconsin tribal sports betting now has a date in court: April 20, 2027. Circuit Judge J. Arthur Melvin fixed that hearing on Monday’s calendar and said his decision should land several weeks afterward. Monday’s order also brought eight tribal nations into the case as defendants alongside the state. At issue is a state law meant to carry Wisconsin sports betting off tribal casino grounds and onto phones anywhere in the state. Two taxpayer groups, the Brown County Taxpayers Association and Citizens Defending Liberty, brought the Aug. 5 complaint in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
