Industry as a whole, I have never called for 3rd party (I assume you mean the government) regulation. I have always wanted (and try to spearhead) self-regulation, like the online horse-racing industry. (The other carve-out in UIGEA, which is still bigger than DFS in handle:
2015 Quarterly Online Racing Handles - Oregon Racing Commission)
Beyond the fact that I work in the industry, I feel if DFS can remain "legal" and gets it's act straight (by regulations, etc), it would be a better gateway for poker. (The current state by state path has stalled, if DFS can stay in the "skill game that works" category, poker maybe able to change some nay-sayers.)

Do you now fear that wide sweeping regulation is imminent?
Hrm, no "fear", as regulation is just needed and overdue. DFS is big now and might come regardless of what anyone thinks.
Note a quote in the following, posted today:
"We believe that fantasy sports should be legal and subject to appropriate consumer and competitive protections." - United States Sen. Robert Menendez and Congressman Frank Pallone
Federal Trade Commission could look into DFS sites after controversy

I see posts like these often on forums. People also claim the ad blitz is driving away new customers. The numbers say the opposite. Record numbers across the board. Two out of 40 million dfs players..
Those who dont play or care about fantasy football obv cannot stand the hype, I guess they want beer and blue boner pill ads instead?
