Gambling911.com/DFS911.com will have reporter Jeff Williams in the court room Wednesday monitoring a hearing to determine whether Daily Fantasy Sports giants DraftKings and FanDuel will still be able to accept New York State residents.
Earlier this month, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman determined that Daily Fantasy Sports is actually illegal online gambling in disguise. DraftKings and FanDuel both insist their daily and weekly contests are games of skill, not gambling.
Judge Manuel Mendez will make his ruling on Wednesday. Attorneys for both DFS companies say they will appeal any injunction that might be imposed.
Last Monday, Mendez denied the companies’ requests for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and set the hearing for Nov. 25.
Gambling911.com/DFS911.com expects to be the first to publish Mendez’ decision as soon as it is announced so be sure to bookmark Gambling911.com now.
