A group of four women filed a lawsuit against New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Gaming Commission with the New York State Supreme Court on Wednesday. The suit alleges that the law enacted by New York state in August regarding daily fantasy sports (DFS) violates the state constitution. They contend that a constitutional amendment was required to permit DFS operators to host their games in NY state.
Other forms of gambling in NY state are authorized by the state’s constitution, the lawsuit contend, so DFS must be as well.
