FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I already play fantasy sports. What will be different?
Very little will be different if the fantasy sports provider applies and obtains a license from the PA Gaming Control Board. Licensing of the fantasy sports providers allows for the calculation of revenue and determining of taxes owed to the Commonwealth based upon entries made while the player is within Pennsylvania.
Additionally, the Pennsylvania law requires licensed fantasy sports operators to offer contests to “beginners”, thus excluding highly experienced players in this level of contests, and prohibits the use of scripts by participants which can impart unfairness in the play of fantasy contests.
