A call was placed to the AG’s office that morning.Īfter several more attempts over more than a week to contact the state AG’s office, in which the press office was informed of the Justice Department and Nevada Gaming Commission actions, an email from Gonder was received on Friday, October 16.Ī.G. That office said the Attorney General’s office should be contacted. “We have received no similar complaints nor are we aware of any employees of the companies.”Ī comment was first sought on the DFS investigation in New York from the Missouri Gaming Commission on the morning of October 6.
“The New York Attorney General is probing employees using insider information in participating in fantasy sports,” she said in a written statement. The Missouri Attorney General’s office is not taking any action at this time, according to Press Secretary Nanci Gonder. The state of New York has launched an investigation, which it announced two weeks ago, after alleged “insider trading” was leading to large cash windfalls for employees. The daily fantasy sports industry (DFS)-primarily FanDuel and DraftKings-is under scrutiny from the Justice Department and was banned in Nevada last week after its gaming commission ruled the online games are gambling.
