Tennessee guv signs daily fantasy sports bill; DraftKings, FanDuel exit Alabama

Daily fantasy sports operators DraftKings and FanDuel have announced their exit from the Alabama market ahead of the state attorney general’s deadline for doing so.

On April 5, Alabama AG Luther Strange sent letters to the two DFS operators, ordering them to cease and desist all real-money activity with state residents as of May 1. On Friday, the AG’s office issued a statement saying the operators had reached a settlement to comply with Strange’s order as of May 2.

Strange said both operators had agreed to block customers with Alabama IP addresses from accessing paid fantasy contests on their websites and to process Alabama customer account withdrawal requests within seven business days of receiving such requests.

FanDuel issued a statement to its Alabama customers maintaining the company’s belief that it had “always operated within the law in Alabama” and would be “working hard to clarify the law in Alabama with the aim of bringing our contests back to the state at some point in the future.”
