This is kinda crazy and would certainly cripple both of these companies, or at the very least make them want to stop fighting to have business in the state of New York. Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman is now attempting to force both companies to pay back customers from the state who lost money on their sites.

The fight between New York and the two companies has been ongoing for a while. Schneiderman does not want them doing business in the state and is doing all he can to insure it comes to an end.
Darren Rovell of ESPN reported that Schneiderman “filed an amended lawsuit against the two companies, this time asking for them to give back all the money they made in New York State, to give it back to those who lost money and to pay a fine of up to $5,000 per case.”
Rovell noted that “restitution of funds had never been a part of Schneiderman’s previous case and could be a huge blow to both companies, who took in more than $200 million in entry fees in 2015 from at least 600,000 customers in the state.”
At this rate, if you live in NY, these companies might not even want your business soon.
