Campaign TREND. Supporter & Opponent Arguments. Daily Fantasy Sports. Lousiana Proposition.

Louisiana voters in Novmeber 2018 will decide whether to permit Daily Fantasy Sports on a parish by parish basis.

Supporters say:

• this is not gambling. this is entertainment . this is personal choice.
• people are going to do it anyway & the state should get its cut of the proceeds (tax)
• Fairness for Fantasy Sports, the group supporting the proposition, has populist messaging that the state cannot tell us what to do with our money

Opponents say:

• this is gambling
• DraftKings and FanDuel settled with the NY Attorney General over claims that “they employed false and deceptive advertising practices that included misleading players about the likelihood that they would earn a positive return”
• Louisiana Family Forum opposes it
• children must be protected

NOLA | Fantasy sports betting is gambling, which means there are more losers than winners
