Our review concludes that DraftKings'/FanDuel's operations constitute illegal gambling under New York law.
From Eric Schneiderman
Our investigation has found that, unlike traditional fantasy sports, daily fantasy sports companies are engaged in illegal gambling under New York law, causing the same kinds of social and economic harms as other forms of illegal gambling and misleading New York consumers.
Daily fantasy sports is neither victimless nor harmless, and it is clear that DraftKings and FanDuel are the leaders of a massive, multi-billion-dollar scheme intended to evade the law and fleece sports fans across the country.
The right to organize is a fundamental right for American workers.
Unions go hand-in-hand with a strong middle class.
Organizing gives workers the power to lift themselves out of poverty and build a better future.
The Supreme Court should follow settled precedent and allow states like New York to manage our own labor relations to achieve labor peace and government efficiency and to continue our long tradition of support for workers.
My job is to enforce the law, without fear or favor.
Daily fantasy sports is much closer to online poker than it is to traditional fantasy sports.
Unlike most traditional, season-long fantasy sports sites, which make most of their money from administrative fees and advertising, FanDuel and DraftKings take a cut of every bet. That is what bookies do, and it is illegal in New York.
