‘Plastered in your face’

A social thing
FanDuel, too, told CNN it views sports betting as a form of entertainment.

Kevin Vo, now 25, had never gambled before placing his first bet on basketball games through FanDuel three years ago. He had just secured his first job, in finance, and he had some money to play with. [https://trip-scan39.cc/ tripskan]
  
“We want our customers to think of their time and budgets on our platform the same way they might think about going to see a movie,” said Fox at FanDuel. [https://tripskan39.cc/ tripskan]

“I honestly fell into the peer pressure of my friends: like, literally all of them posting their parlays (on social media),” Vo said.
  
But at least some bettors try to leverage it into income — like Colby Aaron Wells, now 33, who began sports betting in Tennessee nearly a decade ago to make extra money. (The state legalized certain daily fantasy sports contests on apps in 2016.)
+
A parlay combines two or more individual bets into one, and all conditions must be met for the bettor to win money — a high-risk, high-reward strategy Vo found compelling.
  
He said he was “working his butt off” at a landscaping job at the time, and he thought he could make a little extra money to pay the bills.
+
Like Ethan, he watched games with friends who had all bet on the outcome and participated in group chats dedicated solely to the bets of the day. Vo’s casual pastime escalated in a matter of months.
  
In Wells’ years of app betting, including after sports betting was legalized more widely, there were months when he did win thousands of dollars. Twice, the app company BetMGM even comped him free rooms in Las Vegas for betting so much.
+
“Every single day I would have a parlay,” Vo tells CNN.
  
But there were also many losses. Wells says he could have bought and paid off a house in Tennessee with the amount of money he lost, and he has since quit playing altogether. BetMGM declined CNN’s request for comment.
+
Vo originally bet only on sports he knew well, but as he got deeper into the betting apps, he began putting money on options he knew nothing about. At one point he dove into Polish basketball, betting on games he couldn’t even watch.
  
All three young men interviewed for this story believed they had a competitive edge because of their knowledge of different sports, viewing it differently from a slot machine or lottery ticket.
+
“I was down a couple grand at one point. I was able to make it back. And then that all kind of fell down,” Vo said.
  
And though they’ve stopped gambling, they say the incessant advertising for sports betting is difficult to avoid. They see promotions like “bet $5 and get $150,” and they know just how easy it is to get sucked in.
+
Vo spent months up and down with his wins and losses – and finally walked away when he was down only a few thousand and had just moved into his own apartment.
  
“The amount of advertisements and commercials you see everywhere,” said Vo, “it’s literally plastered in your face.”
+
In an email to CNN, FanDuel outlined several ways it acts to prevent harmful gambling: the ability to set deposit limits and alerts, sending users a monthly statement with their financial status in the app, a review system triggered by activity like too many hours spent on the site or attempting to come back from big losses, and self-exclusion programs that include the offer of a free mental health assessment.

“We work to identify signs of harm and engage with the user to prevent that harm from happening,” said Cory Fox, FanDuel’s Senior Vice President of Public Policy and Sustainability.

DraftKings has similar safety measures in place, and it invites users to set limits with a pop-up page immediately when creating an account.

“These resources are introduced at sign-up and reinforced throughout the customer journey,” Lori Kalani, DraftKings Chief Responsible Gaming Officer, said in an email to CNN. “It’s more fun when it’s for fun—and that’s the experience we aim to deliver.”
