The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for the Super Bowl, and fans are placing bets, often from their phones using apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. Sports betting is becoming popular, especially among young men, but there’s a darker side. Many are losing significant amounts of money, prompting concerns about the ethics of this booming industry.
DraftKings finds itself in hot water with a class action lawsuit. The suit claims the company breaks New Jersey consumer laws by using misleading promotions that contribute to gambling addiction. It also alleges fraud and misrepresentation and calls for damages and changes in how they operate.
Our latest episode of Studio 2 dives into how online sports betting is reshaping professional leagues and its financial effects on individuals. We want to hear from you: How has this shift impacted you and those around you? What do you think are the upsides and downsides?
Guests:
Andrew Brandt, from the Moorad Center for the Study of Sports Law at Villanova Law.
Harry Levant, director of Gambling Policy at the Public Health Advocacy Institute and a gambling addiction therapist at Ethos in Philadelphia.
