Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), Ranking Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, requested that the Committee hold a hearing to review the legal status of fantasy sports, given the Committee’s jurisdiction over professional sports and gambling and the overwhelming popularity of fantasy sports websites.
