In a letter to Sen. Blumenthal and Reps. Tonko and Foushee, FanDuel said its VIP account managers are salaried and not paid on customer losses, receive extra compliance training, and that prospective VIPs are screened before invitation. It said customers who disclose a gambling problem are permanently excluded from all FanDuel products. The inquiry followed a Cameo video from Bryce Harper sent as a VIP gift to a bettor now suing sportsbooks.

Why it matters if you play there

FanDuel VIPs are subject to the same limits, timeouts and self-exclusion tools as other customers; disclosing a problem to a host triggers permanent exclusion.
