Washington state legislators held a hearing on Monday to consider a bill that would make most daily fantasy sports activity subject to felony charges.

Washington long ago declared DFS to be illegal gambling but Rep. Chris Hurst’s HB 2370 would slap class C felony charges on pretty much anyone making a buck off DFS, including those who “offer for play, operate, or advertise a fantasy sports game in this state.”

Washington has long been a dead zone in this regard, having made all forms of online gambling activity punishable as a class C felony back in 2010, leaving offenders liable for up to five years in prison and fines of $10k. Multiple bills that would repeal this measure have been introduced in the ensuring years, none of which have succeeded in passing.

On Monday, Hurst chaired a public hearing of the House Commerce and Gaming committee, at which he declared that he didn’t have a problem with season-long fantasy sports. However, Hurst said this “once fun and social game” had been “prostituted into a horrifically bad industry” by the fantasy carveout in the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).
