A federal appeals court will hear arguments on the 2018 Wire Act Opinion case via teleconference of June 18th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n The case, titled New Hampshire Lottery Commission; NeoPollard Interactive LLC; Pollard Banknote Ltd. versus William Barr; Attorney General, US Department of Justice; United States, will focus on how the opinion affects all forms of gambling.<\/p>\n In total, there have been four other opinions on the Wire Act\u2019s prohibitions of interstate transactions. These include:<\/p>\n This month, the New Hampshire Lottery Commission (NHLC) will appeal that opinion after a local judge ruled in the commission\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In his reply filing, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Ethan P. Davis claimed that the opinion never stated clearly how the law applies to state lotteries and vendors.<\/p>\n Also, the 2018 Wire Act Opinion never said why it only applied to sports betting and why it should only affect that sector.<\/p>\n On both sides of the debate, interested parties are hoping for the hearing to prove something. Whereas, on the DOJ\u2019s side, supporters want online gambling banned to protect children. And on the NHLC\u2019s, supporters want to keep operating and generating needed revenue.<\/p>\n At stake are public funds that impact 19 states and lotteries. If the ruling applies the 2018 Wire Act Opinion, these states will face a \u201ccatastrophic loss of revenue\u201d for public projects. Also, it\u2019ll affect interstate lotteries like the Powerball and MegaMillions, forcing both to stop.<\/p>\n Until the 2018 Wire Act Opinion hearing, this is all speculation.
