The New York State Gaming Commission is seeking to limit what a 2016 fantasy sports law allows via draft regulations, according to a copy of the document obtained by Legal Sports Report.
The limitations would seek to prohibit any fantasy contest that resembles “proposition betting.” Such a model is different from the salary-cap model employed by DraftKings and FanDuel where users select a roster of players.
It’s a move that is opposed by state Sen. John Bonacic — who sponsored the bill legalizing daily fantasy sports — in a letter to the gaming commission also obtained by LSR.
