Caesars Uses Seminole's Argument Against New York Tribe

Caesars Entertainment seeks dismissal of a lawsuit by the Cayuga Nation Tribe over mobile sports betting on tribal land, using an argument from the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The company claims its servers are on its properties, making bets legal. The tribe argues Caesars violates the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Caesars also asserts the tribe lacks standing. The tribe has until Sept. 22 to respond. A legal expert believes the tribe's case may have merit.
