“I can confirm that we have sent out six cease-and-desist letters to date to various parties who may be in violation of Kansas law,” Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission General Counsel Judith Taylor told LSR.

An industry source confirmed to LSR that Underdog was one of the six companies to receive a cease and desist letter.

Regulators sent the letters beginning Sept. 7, after KRGC Executive Director Don Brownlee issued an internal memo stating that 10 companies are operating illegal Kansas sports betting under the guise of fantasy sports.
