It is 100% only Draftkings. Yahoo pulled out and FanDuel is hoping to have their stuff ready for next vote - August 19th.

I've been a little out of the loop, does this include DFS?

Only DFS. LINK


Click on the agenda. Last item. I can’t post a screenshot. They did extensive background checks on 19 DK employees.

Wish there was a way for us to watch or listen to the meeting. It odd they did extensive background checks on 19 employees when I am assuming that DK has thousands of employees. Wonder what made those 19 standout.

It was President. VP. Senior VP. CEO. COO. Head of marketing. All attorneys involved. And some others.

Louisiana is the only state to do this. It is the same if you are building a casino to have people play games vs the house.

Is this supposed to wrap up today, or is it scheduled to be a multi-day affair?

When would we be able to bet? In time for Olympics or after that?

Advocate article says as early as tonight. Might be able to get some showdown action for the Open Championship this weekend.

DraftKings became the first daily fantasy sports betting company allowed to do business in the state with approval Thursday by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board.

DraftKings officials said the company would be operating as soon as possible in Louisiana. It could possibly go live through its website and app as early as Thursday night.
