NEW YORK — Fans of daily fantasy sports protested what could be the end of the online games in New York after the state's attorney general decided earlier this week that they constituted illegal gambling.
Around a hundred protesters - a significant number of whom work for daily fantasy sports sites - gathered outside of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office Friday morning.
Market leaders FanDuel and DraftKings have continued to take money from New Yorkers despite receiving cease and desist letters from Schneiderman.
Both companies filed lawsuits on Friday asking the New York State Supreme Court to overturn the order that they shut down in the state.
