It's going to cost more than that. The consequences are hard to even imagine. Jobs will be lost. I can promise my DirecTV bill goes down without any more league passes. Read More
These threads are doing literally nothing. You think the attorney general of Illinois is on here going "they complained about scripting! better shut down DFS!" Get real. The sites did this to themselves. If they wanted to fly under the radar, maybe don't ... Read More
+1Only if it is approved and excepted by the government. We even have internet lottery. Everything else, including games of skill, are considered illegal. Read More
The law in Illinois is that online wagering, even on games of skill, are banned. That's that. You'd have to get the law changed. Not sure where your interpretation of the law is coming from. It's not a grey area at all. It was written to protect the state ... Read More
+2So, your post was deleted, and you reposted it, word for word. It still makes no sense. What are you even try to prove? What the hell does scripting not stopping me from playing have to do with MY STATE BANNING DFS? Please explain your totally troll opini... Read More
What does that have to do with anything? I'm still playing right now. Just because I don't like some part of something, I need to abandon it? Nice slippery slope argument. Go back to your cave. I don't even know what point you are trying to make. Read More
+2No, I said of course we thought he was scripting. The sites kept on lying about it. Everyone with half a brain knew max was scripting. The sites just didn't give a shit. Read More
+4Of course we thought that's what was happening, but what were we going to do? The sites were lying about it the whole time. Doesn't mean I was happy with it. Read More
+1No one minded because no one knew. The sites told us no one was doing it and was against their TOS until it turned out all the high volume players were doing it, then it was "lol scripts are legal." Read More
+3Spent everything in my FD account and all FDP, 100% on GPPs. Going out with a bang. Read More
+4Any of you play high-dollar season long leagues or season long entry fee leagues like FFPC, NFFC, etc.? The season isn't over, but if they make it illegal, do I get my entry fees back and drop out of the league? In my most expensive league I drafted Jordy... Read More
Yep, I'm treating this as if it will be my last DFS weekend. There will be business text books written in the next decade using FD and DK as case studies on how to destroy an entire industry. Read More
+4No, not yet. The gambling board has to ask the state AG for an advisory opinion on whether or not it is illegal. If she writes the opinion that it is illegal, which I am unfortunately 99% sure she will, then it will be over. Read More
So, I've got $1,800 at DK. $200 at FD. $500 at Yahoo. I have 166,000 FDP, 40,000 DK FPP, and $1,000 in unearned bonuses at Yahoo which I will never get. It's dark, I'm wearing sunglasses, and I'm on a mission from god. I think I'm going to save $1,000 of t... Read More
+2The question is, do I just go balls out this weekend? Earlier today I moved all my action to DK because my H2H win rate in football is 75% on DK and was just going to start focusing on grinding out cash games instead of chasing GPPs. Now, I think I might ... Read More
+3Has nothing to do with being a liberal. He's from Nevada. He's going to take down anything that his casino overlords want. You guys can't see the forest for the trees here--all of the attacks on DFS are coming at them because it is COMPETITION for politica... Read More
+2That case is totally worthless to this situation. They never reached any issue of whether it was legal or not, they tossed the case for not meeting the minimum amount in controversy requirement for federal court. Read More
+2It's not legally dubious, at all. This isn't a constitutional right. States are allowed to make more stringent regulations than the federal baseline, they just cannot make less stringent ones, in which case the federal baseline would take over. Moreover, ... Read More
+1Funniest thing about this? Fanduel's splash pages still have "AS FEATURED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL" all over them. Read More
+6I'm surprised it took them this long to ban it, frankly. They ban every other form of non-casino gambling, for obvious reasons. The only interesting part of this is that the board was smart enough not to officially ban them (which they couldn't outright do... Read More
+1There's never been a potentially corrupt business investigated by the government before? Read More
We can't even get Congress to agree to fund our own government. Do you really think you're going to get them to agree on writing a new law or rewriting an old one to shut down DFS? They're going to make a big show of this because FD and DK splooged their c... Read More
+2I'd rather pay the regulation cost than the costs we are paying now where you cannot be sure if the games are even fair. Read More
