A New York court decided to extend the ruling issued last month that allows the daily fantasy sites to continue operations in the state while they appeal a lower court’s order that they stop.
The decision from a panel of state Supreme Court appellate judges means the daily fantasy sites will be allowed to operate in New York until the case is argued in May, according to the Associated Press.

The daily fantasy sites were also banned in Nevada in October. DraftKings and DailyFantasy claim they operate under a skill-based wagering model and should not be subject to gambling regulations.
