Opposition gambling spokesman Russell North claimed that this move has been attributing to the cutting of funds meant to accord assistance to addicted bettors and this is a negative aspect that inflicts more risks to bettors.

He adds that the clarification of fantasy betting should be clarified by the lawmakers who have up to January when they convene to do so.

It was argued that in fantasy leagues, it is the player’s skill that that wins cash rather than basic luck. Nonetheless, opponents of this have called for mass action by the lawmakers on the subject.

Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin has not made any comment on the matter and according to spokesperson Josh Wisch claiming that nothing has taken part in the AG’s office and hence it is not clear if the topic will be discussed in a near future.

There are several states among them Montana, Washington, Louisiana, Iowa as well as Arizona which have given fantasy leagues a go ahead. These states argue that fantasy league is based on opportunities but not skills.

However, Souki was adamant and claimed that he is not going to issue a notice to stop the fantasy league advertisements in TV as he claims that there are worse things such as cigarettes being advertised on the TV which are more dangerous than fantasy leagues.
