House Bill 2761 was introduced in the State of Oregon which defines daily fantasy sports as a “contest of chance” for purposes of gambling and gaming laws.
The bill would effectively ban daily fantasy sports in the state.
The regulation of Daily Fantasy Sports varies from state to state with many looking to define it as a “game of skill” which would preclude it from certain gambling laws.
The bill was first introduced on Monday, February 6, 2017 so the road for this piece of legislation has a way to go.
