DFS bills make headway in New Jersey & Florida

Laws declaring Daily Fantasy Sports a game of skill progressed in both Florida and New Jersey on Monday thanks to Dana Young and former Casino Control Commission Chairman Steven Perskie.

Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) bed partners DraftKings, and FanDuel has put their money to good use by hiring the highly respectable, Steven Perskie, to argue the point that DFS is not ‘gambling’ in front of the Assembly Tourism, Gaming and the Arts Committee on Monday.

The former Chairman of the Casino Control Commission did well. The Committee passed a bill legalising and regulating DFS in the state of New Jersey with seven thumbs going up and none going down.

Perskie argued that selecting a winning DFS team again and again proved that the game was one of skill and therefore should not be “prohibited by the provision against gambling in the New Jersey Constitution, and are therefore within the authority of the New Jersey Legislature to authorise and regulate.”
