One thought on “Lawsuit accuses DraftKings, FanDuel of driving ‘compulsive gambling’

  1. The lawsuit is entirely accurate – there is no “FanDuel” at all without gambling addiction. This entire industry exists ONLY to harm and steal from those who can’t possibly consent to participate due to their addiction, and therefore has no legitimate entertainment purpose.
