Any progress in LA to legalize daily fantasy?

Is there a website to see if there's a bill in the legislature or something? The only articles I can find are old saying it's still illegal. Does anyone have any updates?

Edit- I'll post this on the politics board too.

LINK

maybe this is what you are looking for?

just follow the link at the top of the page on the Regulation icon.

Alabama started blocking it back in April but sometimes I still play. As long as you enter contests/deposit or withdraw money from a legal state you are good.

a few times this year I entered lineups from just beyond the Mississippi line for DK.

I don't know if you can do the same on Fanduel. But DK is safe as long as you enter in a legal zone. Its not a far from where I live to the state line but its enough of a hassle that I didn't feel like playing every week. I did okay this year.. nothing too big but I didn't lose nearly as much either due to not playing in as many tournaments.

Should be legal right around the time they go bankrupt.

Likely not, but contact your legislator and ask they support it. It's bullshite that it's illegal. If anything should be illegal it's the brazen theft that is income taxes.

Lately I've said F it, and been playing free tournaments with friends and just paying each other on the side and having out of state friends enter lineups for me.

The politicians can get away with it because the people who most of their bullshite affects are busy working and providing for their families and have no chance to voice their displeasure, unlike the folks who live off the system.

Contact the Louisiana Family Forum. They are a "conservative" Christian lobby organization that very actively campaigns against abortion and fantasy football.

I put conservative in quotes in hopes that a member of that lobby group sees this and becomes self-aware that there is nothing conservative about getting the government to ban stuff you don't like.

Like exclusively, or along with other things?

I'm sure they have tyrannical views on many issues but I've only read articles about them actively lobbying against the two.

....and they're probably funded by video poker and other gaming lobbyists
