Amaya Gaming to Launch American DFS Product?
PokerStars' parent company, Amaya Gaming, may be planning to enter the American daily fantasy sports market. The publication Legal Sports Report published information regarding a PokerStars survey sent to American online poker players active during the days before Black Friday. The survey sought their opinions on the daily fantasy sports industry, which appears to be the company's attempt to investigate the market. “If PokerStars were to offer Daily Fantasy Sports how likely would you be to play on PokerStars or a PokerStars' backed site?” was among the questions asked in addition to “Are you aware that Daily Fantasy Sports games are now legal to play for real money in the US?” A combination of reports and prior comments from Amaya have suggested that the company may intend to roll out a DFS product in the US coinciding with the start of the NFL season in September.
