A bit surprising after this OTL report came out this week about pro sports league getting more involved with sports betting: http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/14660326/nba-nfl-mlb-nhl-striking-various-business-deals-gambling-related-firms http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/14660326/nba-nfl-mlb-... as well as positive results on New York injunctions.
It's interesting to note that Amaya (aka PokerStars) entered the market as the #3 player last year (via acquisition of Victiv) -- but basically withdraw pre-emptively during the recent legal dustups, banning players from all states where DFS is not explicitly legal/regulated. Wonder if their longer-term, slow rollout might end up playing out in their favor? (personally, I think it won't; either FD/DK will outlast the legal threats or the whole thing will explode)
