Congress is reviewing current "obsolete" federal gambling laws and plans on introducing comprehensive new legislation.
The Massachusetts attorney general will allow DFS sites to continue operating in the state but wants anyone under 21 banned from playing, as well as college sports eliminated.
With a legal fight brewing in the United States, DraftKings was granted a gambling license by U.K. regulators while FanDuel has applied for a license as a "gambling software" company.
DraftKings, FanDuel each claimed in a lawsuit that N.Y. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is trying to "bully" the DFS companies by saying their operations constitute illegal gambling.
FanDuel CEO Nigel Eccles said Wednesday that he believes his business is legal and plans to fight to be able to offer his daily fantasy product in New York.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman declared that daily fantasy sports constitute illegal gambling in his state and sent cease-and-desist notices to game operators DraftKings and FanDuel.
