Daily fantasy sports cleared to resume in New York state (Yahoo Sports)

DraftKings, FanDuel and three other daily fantasy sports operators were cleared to resume business in the state on Monday, just in time for the approaching NFL season and Major League Baseball playoffs. New York's Gaming Commission granted temporary permits to five companies that run the popular online games following passage of a state law that attempted to resolve a legal conflict over whether they constituted illegal gambling or a game of skill. DraftKings was offering games in New York within hours of the permits being announced.
