Rhode Island AG Opinion on Daily Fantasy Sports

Today, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin released his opinion stating daily fantasy sports are legal games of skill in the state, and noted consumer protection regulations should be established with legislation for fantasy sports put in place. We completely agree. FanDuel has been a vocal supporter of consumer protections and common-sense regulations for the fantasy sports industry and we are grateful for the Attorney General’s support. There is a movement towards regulating daily fantasy sports and establishing our game’s place in law in more than 20 state legislatures across the country. We will continue to work with lawmakers everywhere to establish laws the entire fantasy industry can adhere to.
