Wire Act Court Case Plaintiffs File Briefs With US Court Of Appeals

New Hampshire Lottery, NeoPollard Interactive LLC and Pollard Banknote filed their briefs on February 26th with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The Department of Justice (DOJ) filled their briefs in December of 2019.

In April 2019, the US District Court of New Hampshire ruled in favor of the lottery, stating that the Wire Act only pertains to sports betting. The DOJ believes that the Wire Act stops all forms of gambling over the internet.
