CourtListener's search is queried nightly for opinions filed in the window and for federal dockets (RECAP) with new filings, using gambling terms; a record is kept when its case name, snippet or docket entries name gambling, betting, a lottery, casino, gaming regulation, prediction markets or self-exclusion. State trial courts and most state dockets are not in CourtListener, and criminal cases that mention gambling in passing do get through. Something wrong? How to report it.
