The History of Daily Fantasy Sports Betting

Betting on daily fantasy sports is a relatively new phenomenon. The game itself has been around for years, but it wasn’t until the past few years that states began to seriously consider legalizing and regulating it.

The first state to pass legislation specifically legalizing and regulating daily fantasy sports was Nevada, in the year 2016.Since then, a handful of other states have followed suit. These include Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.

The process by which these states have legalized and regulated daily fantasy sports betting has varied from state to state. In some cases, such as Nevada and Pennsylvania, the legislature passed a bill specifically authorizing and regulating the activity. In other cases, such as Colorado and Indiana, the activity was authorized by a ballot measure put forth to the voters of the state.

The regulation of daily fantasy sports betting has been overseen by a variety of different entities in different states. In some cases, such as Nevada, it is overseen by the existing gaming commission. In other cases, such as Pennsylvania and Tennessee, it is overseen by a newly created commission or board specifically tasked with regulating this activity.

The landscape of daily fantasy sports betting continues to evolve as more states consider legalization and regulation of this activity. It remains to be seen how this will progress in the future.
