Business is booming for sportsbooks:
- Michigan: $55.5 million in September revenue.
- New Jersey: $72.9 million.
- Pennsylvania: $73.5 million before promotional deductions.
That's nearly $202 million across just three states in one month.
Funny how these technical “errors” always seem to benefit the sportsbook’s bottom line.

A customer self-excluded from sports betting. That means stop.
But bet365 kept sending promotional notifications to people on North Carolina's self-exclusion list. The company blamed an error, regulators fined it $75,000.

The house always wins, but now they’ve got AI and targeted data engineering your next bet 24/7.

22 charges. Nothing to show.
True friendship: He politely pushes his owner's hand to feed his blind buddy before taking his own treat.
Imagine turning $300 into $5,000 just for the app to hold your own funds hostage after giving them all your ID docs. Unacceptable.

FanDuel sent VIP gamblers personalized celebrity videos.
Now they're telling Congress those videos weren't meant to encourage more betting. Just little thank-you gifts.
Sure, and VIP programs are just acts of charity.
