Baltimore Sues DraftKings And FanDuel For Exploiting Gamblers | Defector
Briefly

Baltimore's lawsuit against FanDuel and DraftKings alleges exploitation of gamblers through misleading promotions and targeted strategies aimed at problem gamblers. The suit argues that the companies entice new users with attractive offers, yet these often come with complex terms that mislead customers. Specific promotions pressure users to quickly bet significant amounts, indicative of addiction-promotion tactics. The lawsuit highlights concerns over how user data is utilized against vulnerable gamblers, casting a shadow over the industry's practices regarding responsible gambling.
The lawsuit details how sports books, which once offered large cash deposits to new customers in order to build their user base, now attempt to hook new bettors with confusing and dishonest promotions.
Notably, while these offers appear straightforward to a person reading the large, prominent advertising text, they are governed by complex terms and conditions that mislead users.
