Bobby Soper, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, commented on the new agreement by saying that this partnership with their friends at FanDuel gives them the opportunity to further introduce their Mohegan Sun audience to the online sports arena that has become so popular, and fun to play.
Soper went on to say that the partnership is “strictly a marketing relationship and a tool to introduce people to the FanDuel site”.
In order to play fantasy sports, a team of real-world athletes must be assembled and points are accumulated based on the statistics that the athletes generate while performing in a game or games. FanDuel hosts contests that involve major league basketball, soccer, football, football and hockey.
While the fantasy sports industry claims that playing fantasy sports involves skill rather than mere luck, a number of states have regarded fantasy sports as illegal gambling and several have sought to regulate them.
