Daily Fantasy Sports Businesses Must Be Classified as Gambling Sites in UK

(Gambling911.com Fantasy Sports Wire) - An interesting dilemma has arisen with news that Daily Fantasy Sports powerhouse DraftKings recently submitted an application with the United Kingdom Gambling Commission.  Their intent was not immediately known but the presumption is that DraftKings will one day like to be regulated in the United Kingdom.

What’s next?  A spot on the fantastic betting guide for UK players? – Aaron Goldstein, Gambling911.com
