Tally Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The casinos have so much power in the state of Nevada that they just forced all the daily fantasy sites to stop doing business in the state. As of today I can no longer play daily fantasy sports because I live in Nevada. I just had my Draft Kings account closed and my balance was transferred back to my bank account. I really enjoyed playing it so I am upset but perhaps with the current scandal going on it's a blessing in disguise...trying to see the silver lining in losing something that I really enjoyed.

doobwaa Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 you'll get it back at some point..... right after they figure out how to get everyone their "fair" cut. theres too much money involved for it to go away..... im guessing that where now you see a 10% vig on games you will soon see 15% ...or more. that extra 5% should cover the new "operating expenses" that the DFS will be slapped with. or something along those lines.

Apothus Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I live in Arizona where there is a large native American population and a ton of casinos. We can't play DFS money games either.

Cowboyz1 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 FYI You can still play. All you need is another email address, an out of state address, paypal and a vpn service to provide you an ip address. Just look up "vpn service" in google and you can get it done in easy. You may have to use a pay vpn because both sites have shut down free vpn options but try them first. VPn service is very cheap to acquire though.

timeconsumer Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I used to play Fanduel here in Louisiana (one of their blackout states) for a few years. At the time I just used my old address from Florida and didn't even have to use a VPN (but I do have one). I didn't bother this year because I just didn't have much fun with it, so I couldn't tell you what works or doesn't this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The VPN service I used worked for one day on Fanduel. It was probably a free proxy site and not a real VPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AX2RUN Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Everything is illigal here in virginia. Anythinf that isn't illigal is taxed to death. So I'm sure it will be banned or over priced soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
