The legality of online gambling is something that seems to always be up for debate (or legislation), especially in the United States. Although online gambling is making some headway in the States, it’s still relatively rare to see it fully enacted. Of course, most European markets have allowed online gambling in one way or another for over a decade. Online casinos based in Europe are commonplace and many of those living on the continent can gamble to their heart’s content. Recently, the legality of daily fantasy sports websites has come into question even while the earning power of such websites is virtually indisputable. Fantast sports have come a long way since their inception in the mid-80’s, and sports fans across the globe have enjoyed earning bragging rights against their friends and maybe a few cash prizes here and there. But, a game that used to be something you played with acquaintances over the course of an entire season has started to become considerably more interesting and immediate. Websites like FanDuel have continued to raise the stakes with games that take place over a smaller amount of time and still offer major payouts to those involved. Again, this sort of blurs the line between sports betting and skilled competition. On one side, you have proponents saying that fantasy sports are competitions of skill and cunning. On the other side, you have detractors saying that the limited range of these daily fantasy sports websites makes them seem much more like choosing the winners and losers of particular games (otherwise known as sports betting). Of course, online sports betting is still a big business with websites like Bet365 going strong. The only difference is that most of these websites are, again, based in Europe. FanDuel, the lucrative fantasy sports provider, is based in New York, firmly within the jurisdiction of the United States federal government.
