QUESTION
Is FanDuel legally permitted to operate in North Carolina?
ANSWER
As of the last update, FanDuel is legally permitted to operate its daily fantasy sports (DFS) platform in North Carolina. The state does not have specific laws against DFS, and FanDuel, along with other DFS providers, has been allowing North Carolina residents to participate in their contests. However, it's important to distinguish between daily fantasy sports and sports betting; while the former operates in a legal grey area that many states tolerate, the latter requires explicit legal authorization. As for online sports betting, it has not been legalized in North Carolina at this time, despite ongoing legislative discussions and attempts to pass relevant laws. Therefore, FanDuel's sportsbook services are not offered to residents within the state until such legislation is enacted.
