"However, just prior to the bill being introduced, representatives of offtrack betting companies then pressed legislators to add another provision that would require racing fantasy sites to also pay 5 percent of the gross as a source-market fee to the OTB in the customer’s market area, Faraldo said. That led Midland to withdraw his support for any payments to the racing industry, and legislators then inserted the ban on racing fantasy sites, Faraldo said."
Albany politics in a nutshell. If there's not an undeserved kickback in there somewhere, you can't do business.
