Casey Hayward Jersey .Y. -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a new law Wednesday to allow the resumption of daily fantasy sports in New York.The measure calls the popular online contests a game of skill. That legal definition resolves the central argument in a lawsuit brought against the countrys two top fantasy sports companies by the state attorney general. He had likened the online matches to illegal gambling operations based on chance.This legislation strikes the right balance that allows this activity to continue with oversight from state regulators, new consumer protections, and more funding for education, Cuomo said.The state Gaming Commission planned to post on its website Wednesday instructions for operators of the games to obtain temporary registrations.The law requires they pay an annual fee of up to $50,000 with a 15 percent tax on their revenue. It also bars anyone younger than 18 from playing and prohibits college and high school sports.In the games, players assemble a roster of athletes in a sport, using the individuals actual performance statistics to determine the winner. They pay entry fees and win prizes for outperforming other contestants rosters.In March, New York-based FanDuel and Boston-based DraftKings agreed to stop operations in New York pending the passage of a law that would resolve the ambiguity.But under the stipulation with Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, they couldnt start operating again until Cuomo signed the bill into law.Schneiderman said he will enforce the new law. The amended lawsuit will continue against Draft Kings and FanDuel alleging consumer fraud and false advertising for prior operations in New York, he said.FanDuel chief executive Nigel Eccles said that since January, seven other states -- Colorado, Indiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and Virginia -- also have passed laws clarifying the legality of fantasy sports and setting consumer protection regulations. He thanked New York lawmakers and the governor on behalf of more than three million fantasy players across the state.Jason Robins, chief executive of DraftKings, said theyre excited to have their contests returning to New York and want to thank their hundreds of thousands of New York supporters for their passion and loyalty over the past several months.Neither company commented on the lawsuit.

Reigning world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland opened with a 12-2 rout of Winnipegs Jennifer Jones in a battle of teams bound for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Cincinnati Bengals were so sharp against Jacksonville that Andy Dalton and several teammates were done long before halftime.Dalton led the Bengals to two touchdowns in three possessions, earning him a little extra rest in a 26-21 loss to the Jaguars in the preseason Sunday night.It was a good outing for us, said Dalton, who completed 6 of 10 passes for 77 yards and a TD. Two touchdowns in the first half of a preseason game is pretty good, and we got them both ways. ... Its a good feeling to do it both ways.The Bengals (1-2) felt good on both sides of the ball, too. Dalton found Giovani Bernard for a 19-yard score on a third-down play, and then Jeremy Hill capped a 9-minute drive with a 1-yard scramble to the pylon. Defensively, the Bengals held Jacksonville to just 90 yards in the first half. Jacksonvilles first three drives: turnover, three-and-out and three-and-out.Cincys only concern in the regular-season dress rehearsal was the health of three Pro Bowlers.Receiver A.J. Green left in the first quarter with a bruised right knee, but said hes fine. Cornerback Adam Jones strained his right calf in preseason warmups and did not play. And special teams ace Cedric Peerman broke his left forearm and could be out for the season.Its unfortunate guys have injuries, but you cant worry about that, Dalton said. Youve got to worry just about the stuff you can control.Safety Tashaun Gipson (bruised knee) was Jacksonvilles only injured starter.The Jaguars (1-2) had bigger problems -- the offense and defense both failed to show -- that raised questions about whats supposed to the franchises most talented team in nearly a decade.T.J. Yeldon fumbled on the opening possession. Center Brandon Linder and quarterback Blake Bortles each were flagged for false starts to open drives. And the left side of Jacksonvilles revamped offensive line was mostly manhandled.We kind of killed ourselves. We did some stupid things, really, at every position, Bortles said. They didnt do necessarily anything to stop up, whhich is a good sign because its a good defense.
