In part 1 I discussed how those in the Fantasy Sports industry (same theory can be applied to any industry) who aren’t playing by the rules are only going to aid the regulatory bodies (states and federal) in their overall scrutiny of the industry; and those regulatory bodies will have real-life scenarios to back their reasoning for the imposing of steeper fines, passing of stricter laws and worst of all, outlawing games of skill.
