Illinois federal lawsuit targets three online gambling operators over alleged unlawful wagering
A complaint filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois accuses Third Planet Media, Novig Sweeps and Dabble Sports of operating wagering products that reached players in several states. Mark T. Lavery seeks civil penalties, damages and an order to stop the alleged conduct; the claims have not been adjudicated.
The case challenges whether fantasy, exchange-style and sweepstakes products comply with state gambling laws.
