A mysterious LLC is using a 300-year-old law to target D.C. sports betting

I'm still a fan of most every law having a sunset provision.

> The LLC, DC Gambling Recovery, revived the Statute of Anne in seeking to recover potentially millions of dollars in gambling losses from sports betting giants, including Caesars Sportsbook, BetMGM and DraftKings, that it says the law allows it to recoup.

> In D.C., the law states that gambling losses of $25 or more can be recovered in a lawsuit. If the plaintiff wins, the LLC would be required to split the damages in half with the city, and its attorneys estimate the District could take in more than $300 million. That is, if the D.C. Council lets the lawsuit move forward.

The same outfit, "Ohio Gambling Recovery LLC", was covered by Matt Levine in June: https://archive.is/4eSKP

Gambling is degenerate and not something that should be legal. Gen Z is especially vulnerable.

Any lawyers around? What's the potential of this being monetized as a business using intermediary agent individuals (e.g., a "work at home" type more-or-less scam business) to bet large sums on extremely risky sports bets in DC to then recover a large fraction of losses through this law?
