Nevada Gaming Control says unlicensed daily fantasy sports inside the state must cease and desist today

[Acebb]

And so it begins. These idiots in government will ban fantasy sports before legalizing sports betting.

NGCB says that these fantasy sports meet the definition of gambling game

Here is the news release

Not sure why they've let it go on this long. If they didnt think it would hurt their bottom line, then they were very stupid and short sighted.

I'm at the sports book right now. Just heard about this and was going to post. Dfs can operate here but they now need to get license with the gaming board.

Exactly how it should be. Should be treated the same as Sports Betting and this should only help Sports Betting's legalization fight going forward.

 

[RenoChazz]

This isn't about them cutting into profits either. Sports books here are having record profits because of the app. We're talking a 40 percent increase. This about dfs being gambling which it is.

This.

I am also amazed it took this long. The bottom line is its gambling.

I think money is a factor though. Everything's about money.

This is the government agency that did legalize sports betting

yep.....not about we the people.....its about the people that have money and hands they grease. Some things will never change.

It is a little, because DFS gets to go after the whole pie. Sports books here would love to be regulated and make money in every state. And the gaming board would love to get their cut from DFS which is gambling.

 

[PatsFan1283]

We should just ban everything people enjoy doing. Might as well.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Does Shelden Adelson know what DFS is yet?

Hopefully he doesn't watch the news.

Lol.....that's funny

problem is.....without real oversight, half the employees and people involved are looking to rob the joint blind at all times, I guess if govt regulators come in they can at least rob us right to our faces.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Yeah I know you love the government Vitt. I'm sure they will figure out what to do in the most optimal way possible.

They didn't ban it.

Congrats to DraftKings and Fanduel, all your advertising finally got you the attention you wanted.

 

[PatsFan1283]

They didn't ban it.

The decision is probably going to create a domino effect. The other states will look at NVs decision and take action.

How many states? who knows but it is pretty clear it is a very bad development.
