I agree.

These early DFS sites remind me of unregulated online poker sites.

Super shady, and vulnerable to shady assholes manipulating them.

This is the problem with "carve outs" in laws. They always get abused.

DFS is legal because there was a concern that anti-gambling laws would criminalize recreational fantasy sports leagues. So fantasy sports was carved out as legal, and that eventually gave rise to daily fantasy sports, which is all about gambling rather than a friendly yearlong fantasy sports competition with a prize as the incentive.

So due to this carve out, there aren't any real regulations on the book for operations of DFS sites, and as a result we have scandals like this.
