Following venture capital investments from various firms, including from professional sports leagues such as MLB and the National Basketball Association (NBA),[40] DraftKings and FanDuel launched an aggressive marketing campaign prior to the 2015 NFL season.[39] At its peak, the two companies collectively ran an ad on national television in the United States once every 90 seconds.[39] In addition to receiving direct investments from sports leagues, the two companies have reached sponsorship deals with several leagues and teams. In November 2014, DraftKings entered into a multi-year sponsorship deal with the NHL.[44] In April 2015, after the NFL began to allow daily fantasy providers to sign multi-year team sponsorship deals, FanDuel reached deals with sixteen teams for placements on team-oriented digital properties, radio broadcasts, and within their stadiums.[45] DraftKings has also received investments from Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft, who own the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots, respectively.[46][47]

According to the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association (FSGA), of the 59.3 million people who played fantasy sports in the US and Canada in 2017, 43.2 million were American adults.[37] In 2019, 45.9 million American adults participated.[37] The FSGA estimated that 19% of American adults played fantasy sports in 2019, compared to 13% in 2014.[37] A 2019 FSGA survey found that 81% of fantasy sports players were male, 50% were between the ages of 18 and 34 (with an average age of 37.7), 67% were employed full-time, and 47% made more than $75,000 per year.[37][b] A 2015 analysis found that 89.8% were white and 51.5% were unmarried.[71]
However, several other Attorneys General have issued opinions that DFS are legal games of skill. In August 2015 in Kansas, due to uncertainty with the state's Racing and Gaming Commission position,[94] the state's attorney general issued an opinion that daily fantasy sports was a skill game and thus permitted under state law. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback signed legislation a month later authorizing fantasy gaming.[95] The Attorneys General of West Virginia and Rhode Island have also issued opinions that clarified the legality of DFS and paid fantasy sports.[96]
