How do those jurisdictions judge betting on the result of a match? Picking players on their teams likely performance would surely be a significant part of the game.

Although given that what you're doing isn't odds adjusted, it's probably not that great a comparison.

That falls under the purview of traditional online sports betting which is illegal in every state but Nevada (where it is legal intrastate with tight regulations).
Yeah either way I think its fairly clear draftmix should be considered the same as any other fantasy sports league. I guess my point is that betting on the result of a game is usually accompanied by odds to increase the luck the component, and fantasy sports doesn't.

You'd think picking week by week would control the randomness, certainly you're much less likely to be hit by an injury which would be one of the largest random components. Also players tend play well or badly in patches.
