FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics prediction apps face safeguards scrutiny
FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics launched prediction-market apps with fewer responsible-gambling features than their sportsbook apps, a media report said. The report said the new apps initially lacked hotline information, session-time data and betting-history visualisations, although users could set limits and lock accounts. FanDuel later added a hotline, while a DraftKings spokesperson cited deposit limits, cool-off options and self-exclusion tools.
Differences in safeguards affect how operators manage responsible-gambling measures across their sportsbook and prediction-market products.
