Louisiana Daily Fantasy Legislation

I know there's a thread in the fantasy section, but it seems the issue of letting our Legislators know that people care about the issue deserves a wider audience. As an avid fantasy player and DFS player the only reason I've been to the fantasy forum was to see if there was a thread on the recent news.

For those unaware, Daily Fantasy Sports is exploding in popularity. You can't watch a MLB game these days without DraftKings, Fanduel or another site being mentioned as they are expressly legal in all but 5 states, Louisiana being one. The concept is pretty simple as instead of a yearly fantasy league, you enter various type of tournaments for a set buyin. Every player has a set price and you are allotted a salary cap to fill a roster and the tournaments last for a single day or single slate of games. It is sort of a combination of online poker tournaments, sports betting and fantasy sports.

A bill has recently been proposed and apparently passed the house today, here is a link to let your Louisiana legislators know that you support the bill.
