DEADWOOD, S.D. (AP) – The state Commission on Gaming is reviewing daily fantasy sports betting.
The commission is considering the issue Wednesday at a meeting in Deadwood.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley has said he’ll await potential guidance from the commission before deciding whether to take any action.
Jackley has said that federal law, the state in which a wager is made and the state in which a wager is received, may have jurisdiction over the matter.
Daily fantasy has exploded in popularity after both Boston-based DraftKings and New York-based FanDuel unleashed a flurry of on-air, online and billboard ads promoting the games to casual sports fans. A DraftKings employee winning $350,000 in a contest on rival FanDuel earlier this year – beating more than 200,000 other players – raised insider trading questions.
