According to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com, “a class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday accusing DraftKings and FanDuel of negligence, fraud and false advertising.”
Kentucky resident Adam Johnson filed the case after it was revealed the two companies allowed employees to enter contests on the other’s site for the cash prizes available. Johnson reportedly deposited $100 in a DraftKings account.
Rovell noted the suit alleges that “DraftKings performs analytics to determine winning strategies, return on investment of certain strategies and even how lineups on FanDuel would do if they were entered into DraftKings contests.
