Michigan has officially banned Pick'Em daily fantasy games, citing their resemblance to sports betting and categorizing them as games of chance. The ban follows similar moves in Florida and New York, with other states considering similar measures. While the Michigan Gaming Control Board defends its decision, not all lawmakers agree with the ban, with State Sen. Jim Runestad vowing to work on restoring access to legal fantasy sports games in the state. The ban is set to impact operators like PrizePicks in Michigan and New York.
