NSEI is an Active Participant in the Courts and Has Submitted Multiple Amicus Briefs.
Supreme Court of the United States
NSEI Position: Gaming and Gambling are not equivalent. Gaming is a matter reserved to the states. Gambling, if it involves claims on future contingent events, is reserved to the Federal government.
Indiana Supreme Court
NSEI Position: Athlete statistics are like financial indices, and their consented use for commercial purposes violates the right-of-publicity under Indiana law (just like the unconsented use of the indices for commercial purposes constitutes misappropriation).
New York Supreme Court
Appellate Division - First Department
NSEI Position: DFS is not a game. Furthermore, it fails the 'future contingent event' prong of the gambling test, therefore DFS is gambling under New York law.
*The case settled around the same time NSEI submitted its amicus brief, therefore it was not docketed.
