Its actually more specialized than that.  When the gambling law was written fantasy sports was given a specific exemption because traditional fantasy was so popular.<p>The daily sites saw this exemption and developed games that push the envelope as closely as they possibly can.  They&#x27;ve even added rules about not picking too many players from the same team as they are worried about that being perceived as a violation.  The entire industry has been 1 jump ahead of legislation its whole short existence.  In some ways they have been incredibly savvy, for instance they have financial backing from some of the biggest players in the US sports markets.  That they allowed this idiotic behavior by the employees to go on for so long is boneheaded on an epic scale.
