FFPC, which specializes in running season-long fantasy football leagues, says it originally made a deal to share customers with another Web site called DraftStreet — which runs weekly fantasy games.
But when DraftStreet was acquired by DraftKings last summer, the new owner stopped paying FFPC its cut of the proceeds from the sharing agreement, the company claims in the suit.
FFPC says that, under the deal, it shares 552 members with DraftKings. FFPC also claims that it is owed 40 percent of the revenue from DraftKings’ action.
The New Jersey-based FFPC is asking for an unspecified sum from DraftKings, which is projected to make $40 million this year. (And so you know how that 'we paid out this much' marketing works - think of a slot machine. If a daily fantasy league takes a $200 deposit from you (code word Blitz!) and you lose $160 but win back that last 40...they just paid out 40 dollars.)
