Star Fantasy Leagues moves beyond daily to season-long fantasy sports games

Star Fantasy Leagues, one of the many entrants in online fantasy sports, plans to expand beyond daily tournaments to season-long sports in the spring.

Seth Young, chief operating officer at the Rochester, N.Y.-based startup, said in an interview with GamesBeat that the company will launch its fantasy sports combination of daily seasons and long seasons on April 2, 2014. He said his company is also hoping to set itself apart to deal with the inevitable regulation that will come as the government learns how much revenue is being generated in the online sports category.
