WHAT: Attorney Murray, Les Bernal, and Smith will make a major announcement regarding the new internet gambling law enacted recently by the New York Legislature. The law includes the legalization of daily fantasy sports gambling.
The state’s constitution prohibits gambling, except those forms specifically granted exemptions, such as wagering on horse races, charitable contests, a limited number of commercial casinos and state-operated lottery.
Amid a lavish lobbying campaign by internet gambling interests, the Legislature amended state law in June to declare that fantasy sports contests are “games of skill” and not illegal “games of chance.” This action was an attempt by internet gambling supporters to evade the longer process of amending the constitution that requires passage by two successively elected legislatures in Albany followed by a statewide voter referendum.
New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is already on record declaring that daily fantasy sports gambling violates the constitution.
