Daily fantasy sports now legal in Pennsylvania

News on 2 May 2018

Six online fantasy sports game operators are now offering wagers that are regulated and taxed by Pennsylvania, the state Gaming Control Board said in a press statement Tuesday after regulation began over the weekend.

The six companies successful in passing regulatory requirements are: DRAFT, Fantasy Football Players Championship, Fanduel, DraftKings, Boom Fantasy and Fastpick.

The gaming board was charged with regulating the growing business in last October’s law that also expanded casino-style gambling in Pennsylvania (see previous reports).

Pennsylvanians who are at least 18 years old can now legally play on the approved sites, with the owners paying a 15 percent tax on GGR generated within the state.
