“Deal Or No Deal” Challenge No Deal
A state appeals court has thrown out a lawsuit over NBC’s “Deal or No Deal.”
Font Size:

(April 21, 2008)—Georgia’s highest court has thrown out a lawsuit contending that the NBC game show “Deal or No Deal” violated state anti-gambling laws when it invited viewers to take part in a game via text message.

A couple wanted NBC to repay them and other state residents for the cost of sending 99-cent text messages in hopes of winning a prize on the hit show's "Lucky Case Game."

NBC attorneys, however, argued the game was a promotional tool and not a lottery.

In its ruling, the court said the text messages cannot be classified as a bet or a wager, and the state law "offers no avenue of recovery" for the couple.
