It didn't take long. The New Hampshire Lottery has sued the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prevent enforcement of the DOJ's opinion (issued last month) reinterpreting the Wire Act. As we reported last month, the DOJ reversed the position it took in 2011 that the entirety of the Wire Act is limited to sports betting. It newly concludes that only one of four parts of the Wire Act apply to sports betting, while the other three apply to any online betting.
