CarolinaKid Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 now if we can get all the other states to join in....................DraftKings, FanDuel Pull Up Roots In Idaho: AG Says Daily Fantasy Sports Are Illegal GamblingDraftKings and FanDuel stopped offering paid daily fantasy sportscontests in Idaho on Monday after an agreement with the state attorney general, the second such agreement between a state and the top sites in a week.The sites pulled out of Alabama following a similar agreement.What the Idaho AG did on DFSIdaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden issued a press release regarding the agreementwith FanDuel and DraftKings, after“three months of negotiations.”The agreement took effect after May 1, per the AG’s office.DFS is gambling, AG saysLike many states before it, Wasden came to the conclusion that DFS runs afoul of the state’s gambling laws.From the release:“The concern I have is that the paid daily sports offerings provided by these companies constitute gambling under Idaho law,” Attorney General Wasden said. “I have a duty to enforce and uphold that law. I commend the companies for negotiating in good faith and agreeing not to make these contests available in Idaho.”Wasden began a review of the companies and their websites in January amid concerns regarding the legality of the daily fantasy sports contests offered by those companies. The Idaho Constitution prohibits gambling except for the state lottery, pari-mutuel betting as well as bingo and raffle games.“Idaho defines gambling, in part, as risking money or other thing of value for gain that is contingent in whole or part upon chance or the outcome of an event, including a sporting event,” Wasden said. “My concern is that the daily fantasy sports offerings my office reviewed require participants to risk money for a cash prize contingent upon individual athletes’ collective performances in various future sporting events. As I see it, this falls within Idaho’s definition of gambling.”Also of note from the AG releaseBesides saying DFS is illegal as offered by DraftKings and FanDuel, the AG offered the following caveats:The sites could continue offering free-to-play contests in the state.Wasden also noted that the legislature could act to legalize and regulate DFS contests, or that contests could “resume if a court with authority and jurisdiction in Idaho rules in favor of any form of such contests.”The sites could restart offering paid contests in the state, but agreed to give the AG30 days notice, as an opportunity to “evaluate the proposed contests to determine whether they comply with Idaho law.”The agreement is not “an admission of liability or evidence of wrongdoing” by DraftKings or FanDuel.The release made no specific mention of other DFS operators.The latest negative opinion, blocked state for DFSIdaho became the 11th state where an AG believes that daily fantasy sports constitutesgambling under state law. One of those opinions — from the AG in Tennessee — was rendered moot by a bill signed into law last week.The number of states where the two sites do not operate has more doubled in the past six months. DraftKings is officially out of 11 states, while FanDuel does not serve 12 state states.The only point of divergence between the two DFS operators is Texas. FanDuel left the state on Monday as part of an earlier agreement, while DraftKings is fighting the AG in court.The states served by FanDuel and DraftKings do not line up directly with the AG opinions, however. For instance, both sites still serve Georgia, Vermont and Illinois, despite negative opinions from AGs in those states.With the subtraction of Texas and Idaho today, FanDuel now serves less than 75% of the U.S. population.Outside of the five states where DFS sites have never operated —Louisiana, Washington, Iowa, Montana and Arizona — DraftKings and FanDuel have both left six states in the past six months:NevadaNew YorkMississippiHawaiiAlabamaIdahoMississippi could be added back to the list of states they serve if the governor, Phil Bryant, signs a bill currently on his desk.

yisman Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 "The sites could continue offering free-to-play contests in the state." That's not a concession. That's how it is in every state. It can't be gambling if nothing is at stake. "The number of states where the two sites do not operate has more doubled in the past six months. DraftKings is officially out of 11 states, while FanDuel does not serve 12 state states." A lot of state states there. Apparently no editing done. ck, source the articles you post...

That should also be illegal too. Local casino has commercials all day. I'm gonna go to the state and help get the casinos shit down because they put it on tv to get people to come in. As a matter of fact by your logic in gonna try to get everything banned that I don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
