DraftKings to ID top players, ban outside scripts

[The Buzz]

DraftKings is still discussing what criteria will be used to designate experienced players and how they will be identified. Holian said, as an example, a symbol or a badge could be used to identify the experienced players. The identification of experienced players is expected to begin in the "near future," the site said.

This is obviously a step towards "leveling the playing field" in daily fantasy sports. Kudos to DraftKings, though it surely won't make their loyal, high-volume customers happy.

I think this will result in lower revenues for pro DFS players. That's good news for me as a poker affiliate. I lost some clients who decided to grind DFS instead of Online Poker.
