DraftKings Made a Deliberate Problem Gambler a VIP
Original: I Deliberately Bet Like a Problem Gambler. DraftKings Made Me a VIP. https://www. propublica.org/article/draftki ngs-spo
A ProPublica investigation reports that a reporter who deliberately gambled like someone with a serious gambling problem was nonetheless courted by DraftKings, which granted them VIP status and incentives to keep betting. The findings fuel criticism that major US sports betting companies prioritize high-loss customers over responsible gambling safeguards, reviving debate about regulation of the fast-growing online sportsbook industry.
Why now: The ProPublica report raises fresh concerns that sports betting firms exploit problem gamblers instead of protecting them.
