New York Superior Court Judge Manuel Mendez will be making his decision on whether DraftKings and FanDuel can operate in the state of New York.
Judge Mendez stated that his decision will come within a one to two week period. We are now beyond that one week time frame.
The hearing took place following New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s decree that Daily Fantasy Sports is nothing more than illegal gambling. He demanded that both FanDuel and DraftKings cease operations in the state.
Some would suggest this prolonged review could be a positive for the industry but we shall see.
The Associated Press will be first to report on Judge Mendez’s decision.
