It has been reported that the Department of Justice may issue a
new opinion on the federal Wire Act within the next week. Ever
since the Murphy v. NCAA, et al. Supreme Court decision which
rendered the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act as
unconstitutional, the Wire Act has been under review by many. In
2011, the DOJ issued an opinion that interpreted the Wire Act to
only prohibit interstate internet gaming with respect to sporting
events. Since then, there have been calls for a reversal of the
2011 opinion and requests for additional guidance on the Wire
Act.
