California’s largest association of Indian tribes submitted comments to the state attorney general questioning the legality of daily fantasy sports and calling pick’em games illegal sports wagering.
James Siva, chairman of the California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA), submitted the letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta on behalf of the association’s 52 member tribes.
Daily fantasy sports have operated in a gray area in California for years. CNIGA’s comments are presented as a legal opinion on fantasy sports contests under California law.
The attorney general hasn’t made public the comments submitted for the opinion, which were due by the end of January.
