Delaware has asked daily fantasy sports operators to stop offering real-money contests in the state after legislators failed to amend laws to explicitly authorize the activity.

On Friday, the Delaware Department of Justice announced that it had sent letters to DraftKings, FanDuel and Yahoo informing them that their real-money DFS contests “are not permitted under Delaware law” and asking the operators to add Delaware to their list of no-go states.

The DOJ says it notified state regulators in March that DFS was illegal gambling because “chance, as opposed to skill, is the dominant factor in the outcome of these contests.” Delaware law prohibits all gambling except “lotteries under State control,” and the DOJ says the state has no control over DFS activity.

The DOJ believes chance is the dominant factor in DFS contests because while a contestant may select individual athletes, he or she “has no role in how these players actually perform.” The DOJ claims that “the most skilled participants might lose and less skilled participants might win” because “real-life players are human and human behavior is unpredictable.”

The chief minister of the Indian state of Goa says he won’t authorize any more casinos but the ones currently in operation won’t be closed on his watch.

On Friday, Laxmikant Parsekar (pictured) acknowledged that there was a large group of Goans who want to see their state’s casinos closed for good, and he reassured them by saying his government wouldn’t approve any more casino licenses.

However, Parsekar said there was little he could do to undo the state’s current roster of five floating casinos on the Mandovi river, in part because India’s central government “woos investors by organizing so many summits. Therefore, I will not abruptly kick out investors who have invested in our state.”

Parsekar warned that any efforts to revoke casino licenses would result in legal challenges. Besides, Parsekar believes “it would not be right” to take such action because operators “who were given permissions, whose licenses were renewed, who paid money for it … they cannot be told unilaterally that you leave. This is my position.”

Australia’s greyhound racing industry is in turmoil following news that the activity will be banned in New South Wales as of next year.

On Thursday, NSW Premier Mike Baird announced that greyhound racing would be prohibited as of July 1, 2017. Baird said the decision was based on the findings of a Special Commission of Inquiry that was established last year after “very disturbing reports emerged of cruelty to animals and other illegal activities.”

Those activities were spotlighted in an episode of the investigative television program Four Corners, which included hidden camera footage of so-called ‘live baiting,’ aka the use of live animals – rabbits, piglets, etc. – to train the dogs to race. We’ll spare you the details, but the bait animals typically didn’t survive past the end of the race.

Baird’s Commission also revealed the scale of ‘wastage,’ otherwise known as trainers ridding their stables of dogs deemed too slow to win races. The Commission found that as many as 68,448 greyhounds – about half the total population in the state – had been killed over the past 12 years for not possessing the necessary traits of a winner.
