After finding FanDuel’s September reply inadequate, Sen. Blumenthal and Reps. Tonko and Foushee requested copies of roughly 30 personalised celebrity videos sent through the VIP programme, recipients’ win/loss records, whether any had sought self-exclusion, and whether problem-gambling screening data is used to target VIP perks. FanDuel’s response was due October 20. The MLB Players Association separately said it would support banning athlete videos for sportsbook VIP promotions.
Why it matters if you play there
Personalised VIP gifts such as athlete videos are under direct congressional scrutiny; expect operators to pull or restrict these perks and tighten host contact rules.
