Action 24/7 gaming license temporarily reinstated

Regulation

A Nashville judge ruled Friday that Tennessee Education Lottery officials must reinstate the license of Action 24/7 that was accused of lacking the proper safeguards to stop debit card fraud.

Davidson County Chancery Court Judge Patricia Head Moskal held an emergency hearing on Wednesday where attorneys for Tennessee Action 24/7 argued the problems with the gaming operator had been exaggerated.

The suspension came late last week after the company reported several instances of debit card fraud to lottery investigators. In one case, a person made 124 deposits into a gaming account using seven different cards, placed minimal bets, and then withdrew the majority of the money.

The lottery issued a statement after the ruling saying, “We will continue to work with Action 247 to implement appropriate minimum internal control standards that protect the public interest and minimize risk to the integrity of sports gaming in Tennessee.”
