California's Attorney General Declares Fantasy Sports Platforms Illegal
July 3, 2025 - 21:36
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has officially released a legal opinion indicating that all fantasy sports platforms operating within the state are illegal. This announcement has sent shockwaves through the fantasy sports community, where millions of players engage in online competitions based on real-life sporting events.
Bonta's decision stems from a comprehensive review of state laws concerning gambling and gaming. He emphasized that these platforms, which allow participants to draft virtual teams and compete for cash prizes, do not comply with California’s gambling regulations. The attorney general's stance is rooted in the belief that such activities constitute illegal gambling, which has significant implications for both operators and users of these platforms.
This legal opinion may prompt a reevaluation of the fantasy sports industry in California, potentially leading to legislative changes. Stakeholders are now left to consider the future of fantasy sports in a state that has long been a hub for innovation and entertainment in the gaming sector.
