ABOUT US

We’ve taken on Big Tobacco.
Now we’re taking on High-Tech Gambling.

We’ve taken on Big Tobacco. Now we’re taking on High-Tech Gambling.

We’re the Public Health Advocacy Institute at Northeastern University Law School. You might’ve heard about us on 60 minutes, ESPN, or in Time Magazine.We recently made headlines for being the first to sue the NFL, alleging their role in addicting fans. And unlike most firms trying their hand at this, we’re actually making headway in the courts.That’s because addictive products are our specialty.We've won many hundreds of millions for people harmed by cigarettes. But we’re not in it for the profit. We sue to force predatory companies to make their products safer for the public.So when we win a suit, the bulk of the money goes to our clients. A portion goes to covering our costs and future work.Now we’re working to get justice for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

We would only take your case if we think you have a strong one. We’ve won cases against big corporations many times before. And we do everything in our power to get clients justice and financial compensation for the harm they suffered.

If you want to stop these apps from getting away with shady tactics before they blow up even more lives, then fill out this quick form to get started. It won’t commit you to anything.

DraftKings and FanDuel are the biggest players, and a lot of our work is focused there — but we're not limiting ourselves to them.

We're also investigating cases against other online sportsbooks like Caesars, BetMGM, Bally Bet, and others. If one of these apps hooked you, or you signed up for a promotion that wasn't what it seemed, we want to hear from you.

If that’s you, fill out this quick form here and let’s end this madness before more good people get caught up in it.

Social casino apps can also be dangerously addictive. But we’re sorry to say that’s not what this is about.

Our core focus is working with sports fans who went from being occasional gamblers to nonstop in-game betters after downloading a sportsbook app.

Typically, if you have a case, we will file the lawsuit, represent you, and advocate for you through the entire process for free.

If we win, we would take a portion of the winnings to cover our costs, attorneys’ fees, and to continue funding our public interest work representing people like you.

We won’t sugarcoat it. A suit like this can take years. But you wouldn’t be working on it or thinking about it that whole time. There might be busy weeks of gathering documents or preparing for a deposition. But then months can go by where we’re working on it behind the scenes for you.

Our goal is that in the end, your time is worth it. Both for the change you make, and the financial compensation you get if we win.

Before you decide one way or the other, fill out this form and let’s find out if you have a strong case.

If your life changed after you started using these apps, we want to hear from you.

The best way to find out if you have a case is to fill out this quick form so we can get back to you and find a time for a conversation.

Filling out the form does not commit you to going forward with a lawsuit.

Depending on where you live and the details of what happened to you, you might be a good candidate for a class action lawsuit we have underway.

But more likely, this would be an individual lawsuit brought on your behalf. That means our team would work with you one-on-one.

Fill out this quick form and let’s see if you might have a case against one of these sportsbook apps.

Force the sportsbook apps to clean up their act. And make them pay.
