Fantasy Football Illegal in Kansas: Prosecution Possible

Fantasy Football may be legal under federal law but don’t tell that to the state of Kansas.

Clearly, Fantasy Football is illegal there based on this statute:

21-6404 says "As with any other illegal gambling matter, if a fantasy sports league involves the elements of a prize, chance and consideration then it is an illegal 'lottery' prohibited by Kansas criminal law".
