A Federal Circuit Court Wednesday rejected the Justice Department’s 2019 decision to revise the Federal Wire Act, agreeing with a lower court in New Hampshire that the 1961 law relates only to interstate sports betting.
The ruling by the First Circuit Court of Appeals favored the case brought by the New Hampshire Lottery, which sought to vacate the 23-page opinion from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel.
The opinion, dated Nov. 2, 2018, reversed a 2011 ruling on the Wire Act that said the law only pertained to sports betting. The revised decision said the Wire Act covers any action where gaming information is transmitted over the Internet.
