In recent days, PokerStars, the world’s largest online poker site, has been surveying players about daily fantasy sports. Why? As we’ve reported here before, PokerStars is launching its own DFS site or acquiring an existing one, potentially by the start of football season.

The survey’s questions range from a person’s knowledge of the industry and activity in it to whether they’ve heard of the two major players in the DFS space: FanDueland DraftKings. Also included are a few questions related to PokerStars’ brand.

About halfway through is the question, “Are you aware that Daily Fantasy Sports games are now legal to play for real money in the US” based on a loophole in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. You might recall that business professor John Warren Kindt asked for the hole to be closed in a recent House subcommittee hearing. Some industry observers have questioned the legality of fantasy golf and NASCAR, sports DraftKings offers but FanDuel does not.

Yahoolaunched a DFS product already this month and has a base of millions of users in the US. The company has already integrated DFS into its mobile app.

Without further delay, here’s the survey that PokerStars sent out to players:
