This could get ugly.

The second-place finisher in this past weekend’s “Millionaire Maker” tournament on DraftKings has retained representation in the dispute of collusion charges against “Bachelor in Paradise” stars Jade Roper Tolbert and Tanner Tolbert.

As of Wednesday, the $1 million prize has not been paid out pending an investigation into the “integrity and fairness of [DraftKings’] contests,” according to a statement by the company.

The user, who goes by the alias “sPclk36,” was awarded $100,000 for their second-place finish in the “Millionaire Maker.” Attorney, Alan Milstein, who has litigated on behalf of many sports figures including Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony, has been hired by the runner-up.

The controversy stems from accusations that Jade and Tanner Tolbert worked in concert to double their chances by collectively submitting 300 lineups, of which 298 were unique. The accusations against them could be deemed “group play,” which is defined as “team-building complementary lineups which serve to work together and executing a strategy that may create any unfair advantage over individual play,” according to the DraftKings community page.

“We each put in our separate players, in our separate accounts and rooted for own players. No one has ever said a peep about us when we lost for 17 straight weeks,” Tanner Tolbert told ESPN. “Would the questions, accusations and curiosity about this win be the same if the winner had been male and someone who wasn’t already in the public eye?”

Jade Roper, 33, appeared on Season 19 of “The Bachelor,” and Tanner Tolbert, 32, appeared on Season 11 of “The Bachelorette.” The two met on Season 2 of the spin-off series, “Bachelor in Paradise.”

Regardless of the outcome, the case will be precedent-setting and will likely have industry-wide implications. Group play and collusion are already hot-button issues in the daily fantasy sports community, especially as the industry attempts to gain traction in new markets. One DFS expert — Edward Fear the director at Global Daily Fantasy Sports Inc. — called the problem “endemic” and “something that happens in every significant contest.”

If DraftKings were to refuse to pay Jade Roper Tolbert, the former reality television star may opt to sue for breach of contract. DraftKings’ terms and conditions require players to accept arbitration to resolve any legal disputes having to do with transactions or agreements with the company. Having relinquished their rights to a trial by jury, the parties would have to appear before an arbitrator in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, where DraftKings is headquartered. The arbitration hearing would be confidential and would limit potential financial award, as punitive damages are prohibited.

In light of DraftKings’ forthcoming IPO, the company may be wary of entering into any litigation. The litigation discovery process is public, which means that sensitive information would be compelled and published on record. Litigation could be seen as a deterrent to its players and ammunition for skeptical lawmakers who have to weigh in on the legality of fantasy sports and sports betting. Twenty states have legalized sports betting and analysts say the market could be worth $13 billion in three years.

Any legal action could also impact prospective investors and future valuations. DraftKings Inc.’s will have an estimated $3.3 billion in market capital after the three-company merger with Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corp. and SBTech.
