Description

There is a discrepancy between laws legalizing daily fantasy sports ("DFS") and laws making sports gambling illegal. In this article, Patrick Azer discusses how DFS has been able to operate under the UIGEA season long fantasy exception, how DFS platforms have disguised sports betting as DFS, and why both DFS and sports betting should be legalized to eliminate ambiguity in the current law.
