Yahoo Fantasy Sports, PrizePicks, and Underdog Fantasy are the target of a lawsuit filed Thursday in Massachusetts trying to recover money on bets now considered illegal in the state.
The 33-page suit was filed in Massachusetts Superior Court by Joseph Curran from Gloucester. He is seeking all the money wagered on so-called prop and pick ‘em bets with the daily fantasy operators, which could total millions of dollars. The suit says the three companies were authorized in Massachusetts to operate as fantasy sports platforms, not gambling ones. FanDuel and DraftKings offer both fantasy and betting, but they’re registered with the state to do both.
