Draft King starting to tax

In Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont

Bettors' patience may also be taxed.

Really stupid. We have options. I live in Virginia so I'll keep using them for the time being. The minute they start that shit here I'm taking every single penny out and moving it to one of the other 29 sportsbooks that I have accounts with. F them. Greedy bastards. 

We as bettors or the customers simply can not let these slim balls get away with this. If we do then what other sportsbook is next? If one is allowed to get away with it then others will most definitely follow. Who does DK's thing they are? The God of sportsbooks? Really bad business. They ain't the only book on the block. Again, F them. 

Doesn't start until Jan 1 & from what I read the tax amounts to about 3% of winnings. Having said that, these books already have a built-in advantage with juice & also tend to cutoff customers who win big or at the very least lower their limits. Just a matter of time before FanDuel & the rest implement a tax. 

@dg84

 Yep,PA,NY and Illnois 3 of the most corrupt states spear heading their way to a bigger take.Shocker! Lol

Money grab?

Too big for their britches...but, they can do whatever they want as they are independent and not regulated by anyone...

So they lose a few customers...people will stay and they get the ante....having the players pay towards a business expense...smart business move...

Lots of choices out there

Pay to play...jean e us

Those that understand the value of 3% in betting don't play there anyway.

Exactly.  The class action suit over limiting will come eventually, but until then they will push and push in every aspect they can.
