Lawmakers Seek FanDuel VIP Data After Harper Video Concern

Richard Blumenthal is accusing FanDuel of targeting and exploiting problem gamblers, bringing the sportsbook’s customer-protection practices under renewed congressional scrutiny. The allegation centers on a personalized video featuring baseball player Bryce Harper, but it is not a finding of wrongdoing or a formal enforcement action. Blumenthal referred to an August report alleging that FanDuel used a Harper video message to reach someone already experiencing gambling addiction.
