Back New Jersey Senator Pushes for Fantasy Sports Regulation

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie criticized the media for directing so much attention on regulating daily fantasy sports when there are far more important issues in the world at the moment but this week saw NJ Senator Jim Whelan jump on the regulation band wagon.

The senator wrote a letter to state regulators and the New Jersey Casino Control Commission saying:

"The meteoric rise of daily fantasy sports, particularly with large sums of money being won by players, has led to accusations of insider information and corruption which could hurt consumers.

"I don't believe we should impede one's enjoyment of fantasy sports, however, we have an obligation to ensure that fantasy sports competition is fair, impartial, and transparent to everyone."
