California's Attorney General Rules Daily Fantasy Sports as Illegal Gambling
July 4, 2025 - 05:48
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has officially declared that daily fantasy sports (DFS) platforms are a form of illegal online sports betting. In a comprehensive 33-page legal opinion released on Thursday, Bonta outlined the reasoning behind this determination, emphasizing that these platforms operate outside the bounds of state law.
The decision is likely to have significant implications for the burgeoning DFS industry, which has gained immense popularity among sports enthusiasts in recent years. Bonta's opinion highlights the potential risks associated with these platforms, including concerns over gambling addiction and the protection of consumers.
This ruling comes amid ongoing debates about the legality and regulation of various forms of online gambling in California. While some advocates argue for the legalization and regulation of DFS to ensure consumer protection and generate tax revenue, Bonta's stance underscores the state's commitment to enforcing existing gambling laws.
As the situation develops, stakeholders in the DFS industry and lawmakers will need to navigate the legal landscape shaped by this new opinion.
