Citi Now Blocking DraftKings, FanDuel Transactions In New York State

http://ift.tt/126dfV6

With the legality of daily fantasy sports [DFS] sites like DraftKings and FanDuel currently tied up in legal limbo for New York residents, Citigroup confirmed today that it is now blocking its customers in the state from transacting any business with either site.

The bank confirmed the news to Bloomberg this afternoon, saying that the halt on DFS transactions will remain until the court reaches a decision on whether or not these sites violate the state’s laws against illegal gambling.

We’ve sent comment requests to both DraftKings and FanDuel but have not yet heard back.
