QUESTION
Is DraftKings legal in Washington state?
ANSWER
210
As of the knowledge cutoff in early 2023, DraftKings is not legal in Washington State for daily fantasy sports contests. While the state has made some moves towards liberalizing its gaming laws, including the legalization of some forms of sports betting, daily fantasy sports remain classified as games of chance under Washington law. This classification effectively bars DraftKings and other similar platforms from operating their traditional daily fantasy sports contests in the state. However, interested parties should always check the most current regulations, as states frequently modify their gaming laws, and DraftKings may be working to change this status.
