DK limits the number of low stakes games you can play, and also has beginners-only tournaments for new users. FD has the daily entry limit you mentioned previously (and yes they will enforce it). Plus nearly all contests have a maximum number of entries per person, you can only create 50 HU games at a time, etc. Like I said, you can argue that they should be doing more but to say they haven't done anything is laughable.

And FD says that it's explicitly NOT permitted. So tell me how they enforce it (or can anyone prove that it's being enforced)?
Source? All I've seen them say is that "use of any robot, spider, scraper, sniping software or other automated means to access FanDuel is only allowed with our express written permission", and only explicitly prohibited "harmful" actions such as scooping a specific opponent's HU games.

My point is two fold:
1) You claim countermeasures are in place against high volume players, but FD/DK recently allowing automated entering or editing is a complete repeal of such action.
2) There is a market for non salary cap games, but FD/DK rely mainly on GPPs to drive revenue. This cannot be sustained long term. These companies have not turned a profit.
But you think this is speculative nonsense.
You pretty clearly have no clue what you're talking about, as shown above, so it's amusing that you think you know how these sites should be running their business or what is and is not sustainable long term. The sites have made a conscious decision to plow a ton of money back into the business instead of turning a profit, which is very likely optimal for them at this point.. DUCY?
