There are too many gambling scandals to keep track of, each destroying integrity in sports. #txlege

So foreseeable. And so sad. https://t.co/XhHSU6eaKn

A car crash nearly killed ESPN’s Matt Miller. Then came the fraud allegations.

How likely is that missing money went to DraftKings or another similar online bookie? #txlege https://t.co/eDRoAC3vt2

[GamblingHarm.org @GamblingHarmOrg]

Online sportsbook launches in a new jurisdiction and immediately donates $150,000 to a local food bank.

Legal online betting has been linked to to households skipping meals, kids not having enough to eat, etc.

Wow. Can rigged gambling on Kalshi get any worse?

Most intangible assets lose value over time, so IRS lets buyers amortize them over 15 yrs. Sports teams are unique in that sales price can be >90% intangibles but the franchise & brand appreciate over time. This makes teams a huge tax shield for very rich that should be reformed.

Texas legislators: please head Lt. Gov. Patrick's interim charge call to get involved. Protect Texans from this illegal, losing proposition scourge https://t.co/Ot2gh5ZspF

The harms facing Texans in a casino—an ecosystem specifically designed to capture their attention for profit—can be ruinous.

And not just to themselves but on average to five other persons, usually family. #txlege

@ChairmanSelig @CFTC “Leadership”? Only if up in down.

In truth, “supplication.”

Selig is out of his depth. And out of the CFTC’s lane.

@ChairmanSelig @CFTC “defend”? Only if up is down.

In truth, “grab.”

Selig is out of his depth. And out of his lane.

Nuts! FanDuel sent a personal message from Phillies star Bryce Harper to an gambling addict customer. The customer lost $1.5 million with FanDuel, which gave him VIP treatment - including a personalized video message from the Phillies' All-Star.

Kalshi declared illegal in NY. Kalshi will appeal, sure, but NY is the third state to apply law correctly.

How Kalshi has been able to raise money at stratospheric valuations, when its illegality is before courts around the country, reveals Kalshi investors’ greed and folly.

The bookies can call their "prediction markets" activities "trading." They can call it "investing."

But notice that the 1-800 number in their ads' fine print is to the national compulsive GAMBLING helpline. #txlege

[Stop Predatory Gambling @SPGambling]

DraftKing's predatory model of exploiting addiction was exposed yet again by their treatment of Dane Miller. The platform showered him with perks—even gifting him NFL tickets after he spent his entire wedding fund—and sent him $1,000 in credits just two weeks before he was hospitalized following a suicide note.

We are calling for the immediate end to VIP programs before more harm is caused.
