NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Thursday filed an amended lawsuit against DraftKings and FanDuel asking the daily fantasy sports companies to give back all the money they made in New York State.

The amended lawsuit asks the two companies to make restitution of all funds obtained from consumers in connection with alleged violations and seeks a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per case.

The lawsuit also asks that the two companies provide an accounting of the money they collected from consumers in New York who played any of their games.
