Maine legalizes daily fantasy sports

Fifteen states down, thirty-five states to go.

Maine has officially joined fourteen other states in regulating daily fantasy sports (DFS) after its governor sat on the bill for a month.

Legal Sports Report reported that the bill named “An Act To Regulate and Tax Sports Fantasy League Activities in Maine” automatically took effect after Maine Gov. Paul LePage failed to act on the legislation after it was submitted to his office.

This makes Maine the fifteenth state to legalize and regulate DFS and the sixth state to enact such a law this year.
