In recent years fantasy sports have grown extremely popular. At first it sounds harmless right? But what you don't know is that its a growing concern in the United States. Online gambling is still gambling even though it's not taking place at an actual casino. The main issue is how the government is going to regulate sites like FanDuel and Draft Kings. But is fantasy sports really that much of an issue?
Here's what I know. "Playing daily fantasy for money is legal by federal law in the United States, and also legal in Canada. Fantasy sports are, according to federal law, a game of skill, therefore they are not gambling." (https://www.dailyfantasycafe.com/academy/undergraduate/is-daily-fantasy-sports-legal) So technically fantasy sports are legal. But I'm sure online fantasy sports have the same addicting qualities that a game of poker or a slot machine have.
