Episode 15 – Games for Promotions and Daily Fantasy Sports
The newest trend is daily fantasy sports.
Taking a step back, what makes a game used in promotion not gambling? And what, then, makes a daily fantasy sports business model not gambling?
In order to use a game for promotion, the sponsor of the game must remove one of three key elements of the game:
- Chance
- Prize
- Consideration
So, daily fantasy sports like Draft Kings and Fan Duel must be able to do that in order to run a non-gambling game.
But those games also must have a set of rules and must also be run fairly, with a level playing field.
Would you like to run a game in order to promote your business? Call or send an e-mail. 914-358-6401 or anthony@vernalaw.com

Episode 14 – The sale of 4chan and Internet Privacy
In Episode 14 of the “Law & Business” podcast, Anthony and Oz Sultan (Sultan Interactive Group LLC) talk about the sale of 4chan and how that intersects with Internet privacy.
Internet privacy is an oxymoron. Any website that is accessible for free means that there’s a product involved. (In this particular case, it is the services of Verna Law, P.C.) In many cases, if there is user-generated content, the content and the user are the products. Meaning that the website can only monetize by keeping track of the users and understanding the users’ behavior, and, ultimately, selling that information to other websites that need the same information.
