Daily News | How is fantasy sports different from sports betting? The lines are still murky.
If it feels like you’re reading the beginning of an article from 2015,when lines were being blurred as DraftKings and FanDuel’s daily fantasy sports products became widely popular, it’s because, eight years later, those lines still aren’t very clear, at least not in some states.is rather easy. I live in Philadelphia, in a state where sports betting is legal and regulated. A good friend of mine lives in Los Angeles, in a state where sports betting legislation once again failed to pass last year.
In one state, Pennsylvania, I was making a legal sports bet. In another, my friend was doing what some companies and laws claim is fantasy sports — a game of skill and not chance. Only Gallen’s prop was successful. Parlays, or “power plays,” as PrizePicks calls them, remain difficult to hit. Some of those operators are using the same playbook used by DraftKings and FanDuel eight years ago that created carve-out laws and regulations to maintain legality. However, critics worry about how they’re taking advantage of existing laws and offering a product that takes daily fantasy sports a step further than it was intended and into a murky area that is toeing — and sometimes overstepping — the line and dipping into what is undoubtedly sports betting.
PrizePicks, which does not operate in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Delaware, declined to comment on the record for this story. Underdog, a New York-based start-up that has aspirations of being a player in the sports betting space, also declined comment and instead referred The Inquirer to a public relations firm that represents the Coalition for Fantasy Sports — a group that includes PrizePicks, Underdog, and Sleeper, another popular fantasy company.
But some state regulators are making distinctions between what is fantasy sports and what is sports betting.a daily fantasy sports change requested by a commenter that would allow pick’em games like the one in California.“A commenter objected to proposed Rule 5602.1, which would make explicit that contests shall not be based on proposition betting or contests that have the effect of mimicking proposition betting.
