The way forward for daily fantasy sports (DFS) have been secured in Massachusetts after regulations were signed into law by the U.S. state’s governor. The brand new rules include a minimum age of 21 for participants, bar games according to college or amateur sports and prohibit individual players from spending greater than $1,000 every month without proof they might withstand deep financial losses.

The regulations, that have been recommend by Attorney General Maura Healey earlier this year, also require DFS operators to supply ‘beginner’ contests that highly experienced players could be prevented from entering. After signing a bill including the DFS provisions, Governor Charlie Baker made connection with DraftKings, that's based in Boston, Massachusetts.

He said: “What I FEEL we were doing was simply taking what the attorney general put available in the market as kind of directional guidance and was a statute in order that an organization like DraftKings — that is big and successful within the consumer online business — can stay headquartered here within the commonwealth.”
