“The two people that lost over $250,000 had no idea that the employees of DraftKings and FanDuel were utilizing information about how other players were betting, nor did they know FanDuel intentionally instructed its employees on how to conceal their actions to avoid being detected,” Mr. Imbesi said.
oh wow...
that they advertise to match your entry fee and then only after you give them your social security number... feels very 'scammy'

Well the SSN is for income reporting, because if your gross winnings are more than $600 you'll get a tax form. The entry fee match doesn't reallly conflate with the SSN.
The thing people would have a problem with is that the entry fee match is earned over time, and you earn it by playing through dollars. For instance, i've lost net $470 and only received $32 of my entry fee match. You basically get $1 of your match for every $25 you bet through. I'm sure its in the fine print on the commerical and such but that is something people could be upset about.
Also, the stuff about employees of one site playing on another site is scammy.
I play daily fantasy sports but if you go to the message boards on rotogrinders or whatever it is interesting to see the arguments. The people that are making " a living" on it defend the shit out of everything about it. Some of them really have/had a bunker mentatlity. I started playing in October and would read the boards for teh first month and a half, especially when various states were putting heat on the industry.
If it goes away i wouldn't cry.

yeah, I wanted to explain the entry fee thing better, but quite honestly I gave up trying to figure it out after a week or two... all I know is they got my money and didn't match it. You have to wonder about full disclosure in any fantasy format. I like the thrill of playing... but, I know it's gambling. Under a different format where you could only win annually maybe it isn't gambling. But, it's clearly wagering money on football picks and the house takes a cut.
I played about $200 over the season.. I believe they stipulated I have to give my ss for them to match me and I was like fuck it, not giving my ss# for this shit
huh, u mean like amazon? watShocked..SHOCKED that a site whos asking for credit card also wants your social.
