FanDuel suspending all paid fantasy sports contests in New York

FanDuel has temporarily suspended paid contests on its site while it sorts out its legal problems in New York. The company under a state’s Attorney General investigation over allegations that what it and competitor DraftKings are doing is tantamount to gambling.

Effective at 2:30 p.m. Eastern on November 17, FanDuel says that all users in New York will “be restricted from entering paid contests.” However, if you’ve entered into one before the 2:30 p.m. Eastern cutoff time, the contest will still take place without any interruptions.
