The New Hampshire Lottery Commission needs more time to respond to the DOJ appeal.
The New Hampshire Lottery Commission along with its co-plaintiffs NeoPollard Interactive LLC and Pollard Banknote Limited have received an extension to submit a response to the US Department of Justice’s appeal in the Wire Act case that will determine if the 1961 law prohibits online poker and other forms of internet-based gambling that cross state lines.
The extension, which gives the New Hampshire Lottery until February 26, 2020 to file its response brief, was granted by the US Appellate Court for the First District last week following the holiday season. The new deadline extends the original case (filed February 15, 2019) into its second year.
