Note from DW today:
I wanted to thank you for your support of DerbyWars and provide an update on the recent statements made by the Illinois Attorney General against Daily Fantasy Sports.
As the Illinois Attorney General has declared fantasy sports illegal pending further legislation, DerbyWars must abide by this decision. DerbyWars is a contest site, currently operating as a Daily Fantasy Sports provider.
Starting Tuesday, January 5, DerbyWars players with an IL residence will not be allowed to deposit funds or play in money contests. We regret the inconvenience.
We are closely monitoring the situation in Illinois, which is changing day-by-day. More than one bill has been submitted at the state level to legalize fantasy sports in Illinois, so we are hopeful that it may only be a short time before fantasy sports is legalized in Illinois.
If you have any questions about your account, please contact us at

We thank you for your support of DerbyWars!
Sincerely,
Mark Midland
CEO
