After months of legal combat, DraftKings and FanDuel, the big fantasy-sports operators, have agreed to stop taking customers in New York. But it’s no big win for state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Yes, he’s made it his personal mission to end what he considers illegal gambling. But Schneiderman — who’s raked in over $150,000 in contributions from non-fantasy gambling interests since 2009 — only forced a tactical retreat.

The two firms merely agreed to a halt until September, when they’ll get a hearing on their appeal of Schneiderman’s injunction against them. Both companies still insist state gambling laws don’t apply to them, since the fantasy contests are games of skill, not chance — and the courts may yet agree.

More important, the Legislature’s now reviewing several bills that would clearly legalize (and regulate) the companies’ business. Lawmakers may well make the whole fight moot by the time the session ends in June.

Finally, the peak for the fantasy-sports biz is football season — and the NFL doesn’t kick off until Sept. 8.

It’s a good bet that, by the time the Denver Broncos start defending their championship, New Yorkers will again be free to play fantasy ball.
