California Attorney General Rob Bonta is soon expected to deem all online fantasy sports platforms illegal in the state, multiple sources confirmed to KCRA 3.
Within a matter of days, Bonta is expected to release a legal opinion with more details and why he came to this conclusion, according to several sources unauthorized to speak publicly about the decision. The opinion, which KCRA 3 is the first to report, could put billions of dollars at risk for the companies that have been operating in the state for a decade.
Bonta’s office did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
In a statement to KCRA 3, the Coalition for Fantasy Sports said the opinion would be devastating news to the millions of California sports fans who love to play fantasy sports.
