Re-regulation in Fantasy Sports leads to a New Wave of DFS 3.0

The online gaming market in the United States has been defined by groundbreaking deregulation, most prominently 2018’s repeal of PASPA, which opened the floodgates of the online sportsbooks we see today. But the hot topic in today’s gaming industry is not deregulation, but re-regulation in daily fantasy sports.
I predicted this re-regulation in a January article for Gaming Today, where I outlined the fact that between payment processors, regulators, and well funded competitors, the opportunity window for operating single player fantasy (or 'Pick Em') in the US was bound to face challenges.
