Vig & Juice is a podcast discussing the history and legality of gambling and sports betting in the U.S. hosted by Sports & Gaming Law attorneys at Vela Wood.

In this episode of Vig & Juice, we break down season 5, episode 3 of Against the Rules with Michael Lewis, which explores how fantasy sports moved from a legal gray area to a state-sanctioned industry. We examine the pivotal role of attorney Jeremy Kudon in crafting legislation that legitimized fantasy sports, the strategic targeting of states like Kansas, and what this means for the next wave of fantasy sports operators navigating today’s increasingly complex legal landscape.
