History

Historical Context

The Fantasy Sports Regulation Act was introduced in 2015 to clarify the legality of fantasy sports in the U.S., following a surge in popularity since the launch of daily fantasy sites like FanDuel in 2009 and DraftKings in 2012. By 2015, the fantasy sports industry had grown to a $2 billion market, reflecting its significant impact on consumer engagement and sports marketing.
