@WALLACHLEGAL AG makes no differentiation between DFS and season long fantasy in his opinion. All fantasy games declared illegal gambling.
Of note, the Tennessee AG opinion on fantasy sports is not limited to DFS. All fantasy sports declared illegal gambling.
Very real possibility of DFS legislation in NY in the not too distant future. xitter.gq/DeanMurrayNYAD3/status…
While I respect the judge's decision, I do disagree with it & will move forward with legislation legalizing & regulating #DFS in NY

As Attorney Wallach states, DFS injunction take effect immediately. I have seen some confusion on this issue. xitter.gq/WALLACHLEGAL/status/67…
The preliminary injunction against DK/FD takes effect immediately; the 30 days refers to the filing of an answer in response to complaint

(2/2): RLT: "The amounts of the entrance fee is [sic] calculated in part on salary up to $50K and on the athletes [sic] perceived value."
(1/2) Court also made a strange claim on p.5 where it seems to imply a higher salary cap for players if they pay a higher entrance fee.
Court stated (p.5): "... once the DFS team is selected, the players are 'locked in', and the selections may no longer be changed." Not true
Seems like #DFS still has a lot of work to do to teach the judiciary the mechanics of the game. Mendez got a few gameplay details wrong.
Great job by @WALLACHLEGAL writing on @LSPReport and breaking down the key issues of the NY DFS injunction hearing. legalsportsreport.com/6653/n…

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Celebrating this holiday might be what I miss the most about living in the United States.
Good take in the Washington Post on #DFS. I agree that Mass is leading the way toward responsible regulation.

Kudos to Mass AG Healey for instituting appropriate consumer protection measures for #DFS while not outlawing it. xitter.gq/MassAGO/status/6673617…
Phenomenal job by @SportsLawProf researching the Congressional origins of the fantasy carve-out in the UIGEA espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id…
Great sign for the long term future of #DFS with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones continuing to pledge his support espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/1…

3rd Circuit vacatur of Christie II and rehearing en banc is a potential game changer for #sportsbetting in the US.
Kudos to @FanDuel for taking the right approach by strengthening internal controls. Very good first step: newsroom.fanduel.com/2015/10…
I wish I could say otherwise, but the 3rd Circuit opinion on #PASPA is spot on. NJ had to completely repeal sportsbetting ban to pass muster

And of course, another highlight was the sweet guitar playing of @VictorRocha1. #gigse15.

Thanks to the organizers of #gigse15. It was a successful conference with some tremendous panels. Loved hearing from @NBA and @DraftKings.
