DFS has come under fire in the US this week after it was revealed that a DraftKings manager inadvertently released data showing he knew which players were most picked prior as part of American football fantasy teams.
He then went on to win US$350,000 (€312,800) betting on NFL games through rival operator FanDuel.
DraftKings and FanDuel in a statement defended the integrity of their businesses and also confirmed that staff have temporarily been halted from taking part in fantasy sports contests on rival sites.
In response to the incident, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has launched an inquiry into DraftKings and FanDuel to establish the advantages DFS employees may have gained using data to win prizes on competing operators.
Amaya operates the StarsDraft DFS brand following its acquisition of Victiv and has now given its own view on the case, calling for more regulation in the market to better protect players.
