I look forward to seeing many friends (in person!) at this week's IMGL conference in Seattle. Along with my fellow panelists, I'll discuss new developments and innovations in online lottery and lottery operated and/or regulated sports betting. https://t.co/c0X1dMnlve

Maryland sports betting legislation became law this month. But for sports betting to occur, Maryland voters must approve it this November.

Per its June 12 memo, DOJ is considering next steps re the D NH Court's opinion. Also, the Wire Act prosecution forbearance period is extended to the later of 12/31/19 or 60 days after final judgment. Odd that the memo ignores that its 2018 Opinion was "set aside", and thus void.

If the Wire Act is enforced per yesterday's DOJ opinion (ie., applicable to ALL types of gambling, not only sports betting) it could have a profound adverse impact on state lotteries and the good causes they serve. Traditional lottery sales would be affected as well as iLottery!
