Fan’s suit piles on fantasy-sports sites

An angry football fan has hit two fantasysports sites with a federal classaction lawsuit, claiming employees at one of the sites used inside information to cheat their way to $6 million in winnings on the rival site, new court papers state.

Adam Johnson, of Kentucky, sued DraftKings and FanDuel in Manhattan federal court Thursday, saying he’s spent $100 on DraftKings tournaments.

“The biggest edges any player can have come from having data and informa tion. DraftKings and FanDuel employees have access to both, neither of which is public,” his suit states.

New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has opened investigations into both companies.

The focus on fantasy sites began in September when a DraftKings worker won $350,000 on a $25 bet he made on rival site FanDuel.

“DraftKings and FanDuel both communicated to customers that their employees were not allowed to play on their own sites, but omitted . . . that they were allowed to play on other sites and that other sites’ employees were allowed to play on their site,” the suit states.

FanDuel did not respond to calls for comment. DraftKings declined to comment.
