FanDuel and peers seek dismissal of Washington lawsuit over gambling losses
FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM are asking a Washington, DC, court to dismiss a lawsuit brought by DC Gambling Recovery under the Statute of Anne, reportedly with a hearing scheduled for Friday. The operators argue that later legislation made the law inapplicable to sports betting; the plaintiff disputes that reading, while the district’s attorney general supports dismissal.
The court’s interpretation could affect operators’ exposure to claims over sports wagers in Washington, DC.
