Landmark Lawsuit: Online Sportsbook VIP Hosts Sued for First Time

Northeastern Law’s Public Health Advocacy Institute (PHAI) is representing the plaintiffs in a landmark lawsuit against DraftKings, FanDuel and the NFL — the first online sports betting case to name VIP hosts as defendants. “I am unaware of anyone else naming a VIP host as a defendant in an online gambling lawsuit until today,” said Mark Gottlieb ’93, executive director of PHAI and one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs, in GamblingHarm.org.
