Grift Kings and Scam Duel (hattip to Deadspin) are out of business in New York, ruled gambling by a New York judge on the injunction order.
DUH!!!
And here's the thing: When is someone going to finally blow the whole she-bang up and expose it as a RIGGED gambling situation? This is why you won't see the groups made legal -- because doing so would remove any incentive for them to do business in the first place.
Any layman individual who has put money into these "games" has just been asking for it (and more!) to get taken from them. Anyone who has paid an ounce of attention to all this can only come to one conclusion: Draft Kings and Fan Duel were created to scam the sports fan of America out of money and funnel it into it's employees as clandestine players within the system. Period-fucking-end.
If this were not the case, then relevant levels of safeguards would've been put into the processes to ensure fair play. Since they aren't there, it's pretty clear they never were meant to be.
UPDATE 2:25 PST: Stay has been granted by the Appeals Court in New York. Daily Fantasy continues in New York for now. Word is this will give until at least the end of the year, which means they probably get the football season...
