White Paper

Fantasy Sports Gambling - Problem States, Enforcement and Legislation

 


“There is currently (and increasingly) more scrutiny on online daily fantasy sports leagues. This is consistent with the argument that “daily” games are not demonstrative of the same degree of skill that can be exhibited over the course of a season.”

Our author, Robert Laplaca, reviews the “problem states” of fantasy sports leagues, which includes Arizona, Louisiana, Washington, Nevada and New York, among others, as well as enforcement issues. He also discusses pending legislation. “There is currently legislation introduced or expected in the following states pertaining to expressly legalizing online fantasy sports (with conditions): Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Washington, Indiana, Georgia and Minnesota and surely more to follow.” Mr. Laplaca goes into detail about New York lawsuit arguments and the future of online fantasy sports.

Robert Laplaca is a partner in the office of Verrill Dana, LLP. His practice emphasizes all aspects of promotions marketing law, including contests and sweepstakes and cause marketing. He conducts regular seminars and workshops on numerous issues related to promotion marketing law, including recently a live webinar on The Basics of Sweepstakes, Contests and Commercial Co-Ventures; a workshop and a seminar on cause marketing.
