New Hampshire becomes 13th state to regulate DFS
Legislation calls for zero fees and taxes and segregated player funds
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has signed a DFS bill into law, making it the 13th state to enact daily fantasy legislation.
The bill is considered pro-business, with no fees or taxes for operators, although they must register with the New Hampshire lottery commission, which has been given the purview to regulate the industry.
The new law also establishes the type of consumer protections that have become commonplace in regulating states, with age limits, segregation of player funds, and responsible gambling rules.
Firms can register with the commission while the legislation is taking effect and continue to offer their services.
New Hampshire becomes the third state to regulate DFS this year, with other states including New Jersey, Delaware and Maine expected to finalize their own legislation in the coming weeks.
Both FanDuel and DraftKings spoke about the need to focus on regulatory expansion following their failed merger earlier this month.
