My advice for the non-HN crowd (which these sites are clearly aiming for in their carpet-bombing advertising on sports channels): If you want to play fantasy sports, play one of the free non-betting sites that have been around for years. The new DFS sites you see on ESPON are full of sharks that will eat you alive. On a meta note: it's funny to contrast the NY Times coverage of DFS with ESPN's. I think the NY Times is doing a public service here. Although it probably largely goes over the head of the audience that would most benefit by it, it has already clearly filtered in the larger public debate. Meanwhile, I actually saw front-page coverage a few weeks ago of a protest by DFS advocates against the Attorney General's decision to reign in DFS sites. I wonder who even organized that protest.
