A federal district court judge late Wednesday rejected the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s request to put a temporary hold on the ruling invalidating the tribe’s online sports betting operation, leaving the games in legal limbo over the holiday weekend.

Judge Dabney L. Friedrich of the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia said that the tribe has not shown that it will be irreparably injured if it is not allowed to keep taking bets as it appeals the decision. Friedrich ruled on Monday that the 30-year gaming compact reached between Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Seminole Tribe last spring violated federal Indian gaming law.
