Vulcun scraps real-money fantasy eSports wagering, cites US regulatory uncertainty
Daily fantasy eSports operator Vulcun says it will stop accepting real-money fantasy wagers on eSports events, citing regulatory concerns in the United States.
In a notice posted to the site’s blog on Monday, Vulcun said it would “phase out paid fantasy” effective Jan. 14, 2016, which marks the start of the new season of the League of Legends Championship Series.
Vulcun is advising users to withdraw all cash from their accounts by Feb. 5, after which any remaining funds will be converted into ‘gold’, the site’s proprietary virtual wagering currency. All unused pending bonuses will expire on Feb. 6.
The company said it arrived at this decision “after careful consideration (and much heartache).” Vulcun says the “current legal landscape” in the US has made it “difficult” to fulfill its aim of making eSports more engaging and fun through fantasy wagering. Vulcun says it will now focus its efforts on things all its users can enjoy “rather than trying to figure this situation out state by state.”

Lottery boosts Canada sports bet hopes; PlayOLG plan mobile app, peer-to-peer poker
Canada’s single-game sports betting bill will get a second shot at becoming law, ironically due to its backer having won a parliamentary lottery.
Brian Masse (pictured), the New Democratic Party member of parliament for the Ontario riding of Windsor-West, has vowed to reintroduce the C-290 sports betting legislation, which was approved by the House of Commons in 2012 but officially died last summer after the Senate failed to ratify the bill before October’s federal election.
C-290 was a private member’s bill, i.e. legislation proposed by an MP not from the ruling party. Such bills rarely become law, not just because there’s no guarantee the current majority Liberal government will vote in favor of the bill but also because parliamentary procedure allows only 30 such bills to take up space on the House agenda.
But Masse told CBC News that his name was picked seventh in the most recent parliamentary lottery that dictates the order in which private members can propose bills. Masse had previously vowed to reintroduce a version of retired NDP MP Joe Comartin’s C-290 and now says he will make good on that promise, which he hopes will benefit the casinos in his home riding as well as sports bettors across the country.
