Not exactly. With Jackpocket, you can only purchase tickets for the state you are located in. And Jackpocket is only available in certain states - they have physically locations for each state they operate in, buying tickets per order.

So only one company can do it? That's like saying Target already sells clothes so why bother opening a clothing store.

I think they mean the opposite of that. There’s a company legally doing it already which means there’s legal ways for someone new to do it
