San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman announced Thursday that his new fantasy site, Daily Number, will be launching paid contests in 23 states.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell draws distinction between daily fantasy sports leagues and season-long fantasy play.
The Massachusetts attorney general will allow DFS sites to continue operating in the state but wants anyone under 21 banned from playing, as well as college sports eliminated.
With a legal fight brewing in the United States, DraftKings was granted a gambling license by U.K. regulators while FanDuel has applied for a license as a "gambling software" company.
DraftKings, FanDuel each claimed in a lawsuit that N.Y. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is trying to "bully" the DFS companies by saying their operations constitute illegal gambling.
FanDuel CEO Nigel Eccles said Wednesday that he believes his business is legal and plans to fight to be able to offer his daily fantasy product in New York.
