A New York court has affirmed the constitutionality of Daily Fantasy Sports. Fantasy sports leagues that award prizes to participants have been deemed sufficiently skill-based, meaning they won’t be banned under state anti-gambling laws. The ruling is good news for operators such as FanDuel and DraftKings, which will be able to keep offering DFS in the Empire State. The state’s high court decision comes after two lower courts sided with an anti-gambling group that claimed a 2016 New York law allowing DFS contests was unconstitutional: the lower courts ruled that the DFS did indeed violate a prohibition on gambling at…

They found that fantasy sports are not based on chance, nor are they betting on…
