    Thanks! I was #52 at halftime of the Vikes/49ers game. Would have been worth $400. I'm thinking Carlos Hyde did me in.

    Withdrawals:

    We process a withdrawal request by first refunding your original deposit source. Once all original deposit sources have been fully refunded, please select where you would like us to send your remaining funds (PayPal or Check).

    What if my card expires or I got a new card?
    As long as you still have the same account number with the issuing bank/credit provider, the funds will appear on your new card in 2-8 business days. Your account number and card number are two separate entities. As long as the account number (not card number) is the same, your funds will appear.

    What if I no longer have access to that card?
    In the event you no longer have access to a card you have used to make a deposit with, please contact usprior to requesting your withdrawal.

    I have a Non-Reloaded gift card, can that be refunded?
    Non-reloadable gift cards can receive refunds up to the original value of the card. Non-reloadable gift cards cannot receive funds that exceed the cards original value.

    Nice. Seems easy enough.

    And yeah, Carlos Hyde helped me jump up a bunch of spots last night.

    One of the ads shows people at various events -- a wedding, a kid's birthday party, shopping in the mall -- glued to their phones, watching intently...naturally, it ends with them all celebrating their big victory...but the main point of the ad is that "our app will consume every waking minute of your life." Not sure if that's a big selling point.

    So those shots of "real winners" at some big gathering of DraftKings players are staged right? How would they know who among the 100,000+ players in the big games to invite to some watch party?

    It's been my experience that absolutely every single frame of every single national ad spot is staged to the nth degree.

    I'd be willing to pay good money to never seen a FanDuel or DraftKings ad again.

    So strange that a Congressman in a state that benefited from $205 million in casino and gaming taxes in 2014 try to discourage competition to one his state's larges sources of revenue. Democrat or Republican, anyone who holds elected office in New Jersey that doesn't fight against competing gaming outlets would be doing his or her constituents a huge disservice.

    I don't agree with him, but I understand he's protecting his state's best interests.

    Chicago Tribune columnist says ban them!

    Deluge of ads makes fantasy sports a grim reality

    (W)e all should care about the drag on state and local economies of this now multibillion-dollar industry. Overall, massive citizen investments in daily fantasy sports stand to drain gambling revenue from state lotteries and casinos and put a damper on more productive, job-creating exchanges of goods and services.

    Please ban daily fantasy so people in Illinois can play state lotteries and not get paid.
