ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Comptroller Peter Franchot wants to make sure daily fantasy sports betting like FanDuel and DraftKings are operating legally in Maryland.
Andrew Friedson, a spokesman for Franchot, said Thursday that the comptroller wants to ensure taxes are being properly collected and Maryland consumers are protected from any potentially damaging industry practices.
Friedson says the comptroller will convene state officials in the coming months to discuss the issues and ensure that taxpayer interests are protected.

Of course his first concern is to make sure that taxes are being paid. Even though they couldn't figure how to tax online poker, so they blocked it for the whole state. Many countries are the world have figured out how to tax and regulate Fantasy sports and poker for online players. Dopes!!!
Translation: Gambling is very bad, but if you must do it, we want our cut. The State of Maryland offers more gambling options than the mafia EVER did. Because its THAT bad.
It is ALL about the money.
Keep cheering.
