There is a specific, long-standing exception in Federal gambling laws for what DraftKings and FanDuel is doing. They're not ignoring or even bending the law.
The weasel-wording they use in their ads is to get around TV network (and sports league) squeamishness about running ads for sports betting.

There are also several states where their games are pretty clearly illegal and these companies are just operating there until they either get shutdown or get enough lobbying power to push through their own exceptions.
