Can I Play FanDuel From My State This Football Season?

You may be seeing a lot of ads for the Daily Fantasy Sports site FanDuel and asking yourself if it is okay to play there from your state.  It’s not for everyone!!!  One must also understand they will need to provide a social security number, something the internationally-based real money betting sites do not require.

FanDuel is listed 2nd for each state with Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada among the states that prohibit playing on FanDuel.
