Another great piece by Steve Ruddock, pointing out that, despite numerous similarities, online poker and DFS are experiencing entirely different fates in U.S. states where regulation and legalization are being considered:

The spate of DFS legislation is nothing short of miraculous when you consider they typical lack of alacrity legislatures show, and that legalization and regulation of the DFS industry wasn’t on any state’s radar prior to the kerfuffle that began in October of 2015 following the accidental, premature releasing of data by a DraftKings employee . . . By comparison, online poker bills, which have been introduced in state legislatures for at least five years and in some cases (California) longer, were considered in just four states this year, and not a single bill has passed at this point.
