Wish I could participate in fantasy sports.

Unfortunately, they are illegalized in a number of US states and I happen to live in one of them.

This is the US states where they are illegal: Arizona, Alabama, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, Texas and Washington state.

A case might be made for fantasy sports games being "skilled-based" and not falling under the definition of gambling. Unfortunately, there appears to be a very strange process in place determining how state governments create regulations which affect these types of things.
