Tournaments Boost US Fantasy Sports Industry
Online fantasy sports gaming is excluded from the UIGEA because it is considered a skill game. There are five states that currently do not permit this form of online gambling; however it is thriving with an increased number of players buying into daily and weekly tournaments. Successful sites include FanDuel, Ballr, FantasyScore, FanNation and DraftKings. A sign of the popularity and increased interest within the American market is the size of the prize pools which include million dollar competitions. Since fantasy sports wagers are legal, there are no payment delays or problems receiving payouts.
