New York
Attorney General
Eric
Schneiderman
seeks
restitution to
New York
customers of
DraftKings,
FanDuel
| New York
Attorney
General Eric
Schneiderman
is no longer
seeking only
to shut down
daily
fantasy
sports
companies
DraftKings
and FanDuel
in the
state. In
amended
complaints
filed
Thursday, he
now seeks
restitution
and damages
for what he
has said
constitutes
illegal
gambling
operations.
The latest
filing comes
as a panel
of appellate
judges will
decide to
lift or
extend a
temporary
stay granted
last month
after the
New York
Supreme
Court
granted a
preliminary
injunction.
The
companies
will file
briefs
regarding
the stay on
Monday. In
the amended
complaint,
Schneiderman
seeks
damages,
including
pre-judgement
interest,
caused “by
the
fraudulent
and
deceptive
acts and the
repeated
fraudulent
acts and
persistent
illegality”
of the
companies’
business. He
also seeks
restitution
to New York
customers
and a civil
penalty up
to $5,000
for each
violation of
general
business
law. The
sites took
in about
$200 million
in entry
fees last
year from
about
600,000 New
Yorkers.
“The AG’s
goal here is
to extract
every
ill-gotten
dollar from
DraftKings
and
FanDuel’s
New York
contests,
and then
some,” said
Daniel
Wallach, a
sports and
gaming law
expert at
Becker &
Poliakoff in
Florida. |

Carole
Hedinger,
New
Jersey Lottery executive
director
said, “It’s
refreshing
that Joseph
Ianiro and
John Opaluch
can show the
public that
winning
the Lottery doesn’t
change
people’s
intrinsic
values or
sense of
fiscal
responsibility.
In fact,
the winners
that I have
had the
honor and
pleasure of
meeting are
typically
responsible,
hard-working
people who
just got
lucky. Their
dreams are
simply to
live a happy
life without
financial
struggles.” |

Question:
Even if
states
decide to
legalize and
regulate
Fantasy
Sports,
won’t
Fantasy
Sports
potentially
run afoul of
PASPA and
federal
government
laws that
prohibit
sports
betting and
cross-border
internet-based
sports-betting?
Maybe this
could be the
catalyst to
cause the
federal
government
to
re-evaluate
the whole
efficacy and
constitutionality
of laws that
allow four
states to
operate
sports-betting
and prohibit
all the
others from
operating
sports-betting. |
