Fantasy Sports Legal and Live in Pennsylvania

Daily fantasy sports, long living in a legal gray area in many states, are now 100 percent OK in Pennsylvania — and 15 percent taxed.

Six fantasy sports sites, including DraftKings and FanDuel, are registered to legally operate under a state law that went into effect Saturday and was part of a larger statewide gaming expansion.

But don’t sweat, players: Competitors on those six sites aren’t likely to see any change in play and won’t need to reregister.

“As far as the game participation for the player, they’re really not going to see anything different than they have before,” Gaming Control Board spokesman Doug Harbach said Tuesday.

Daily fantasy sports, where users pay an entry fee to participate in contests with payouts, are different from traditional fantasy sports played by friends who create their own leagues and compete over the course of a sports season.
