SSJ Law weighs in on upcoming daily fantasy sports decision

December 5, 2015/in Fantasy Sports, Indian Gaming /by ssjadmin

LOS ANGELES
Dec 4th, 2015
Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson, known in the daily fantasy sports and eSports world as SSJ Law, has weighed in on the upcoming decision, expected to come down as early as next week, from Judge Manuel Mendez regarding the legality of daily fantasy sports under New York law.  The lawsuit follows the announcement from New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman that DraftKings and FanDuel are operating unlawfully in New York.

SSJ Law’s managing partner, Stephen Solomon, stated that, “It would be unfortunate for all citizens of New York if daily fantasy sports is banned because it not only provides entertainment for those who play, but also could bring in substantial revenue for the state if appropriately taxed and licensed.”

Supporters of New York’s response have noted that these operations have made headlines in the last few weeks concerning the alleged use of insider information by an employee of one operator to win $350,000.

But according to Ryan Kroll, a partner in the firm’s gaming law practice, “The decision to shut down these operators appears to be a knee-jerk reaction by the government that indicates an inability to see the forest through the trees.  As with any emerging industry, public concerns will arise, but they do not necessarily require a state to eradicate an entire form of entertainment, especially given the proven ability of governments to regulate alcohol, card clubs, and now marijuana.”

It appears that Massachusetts’s approach is consistent with SSJ Law’s opinion. On November 19, 2015, Massachusetts announced its proposed regulations for the operation of daily fantasy sports, which include raising the minimum age of participants to 21, limiting the monthly maximum deposit to $1,000, and creating separate categories of contests for experienced and non-experienced players.

Solomon states that, “These proposed regulations aren’t perfect, but they’re a good start.  Ensuring the fairness of the game is not only in the best interest of those competing, but also in the best interest of the operators.”

Ultimately, the government’s role should be in ensuring its citizens can pursue their chosen forms of entertainment in a responsible manner and not making choices for the people.

As Kroll states, “America loves a good rags-to-riches story, and daily fantasy sports lets sports fans dream that dream.”
