In the final week of #RGEM2024, I sat down with our incredible CTO Zach Maybury to discuss the importance of Responsible Gaming and how his team plays a crucial role in delivering all of the #consumerprotection that we provide our customers. Over the past 5 months since I joined DraftKings Inc. (time has flown by!), I've come to really appreciate all of the backend work that goes into doing the right thing. It's More Fun When It's For Fun!

In the fast-paced, rapidly evolving world of online gaming, helping customers play responsibly and supporting their well-being is a top priority, central to our collective mission. At DraftKings, we are committed to educating and empowering our players with the tools and resources they need to play responsibly. In the two decades I've been in this field, I’ve heard over and over, both anecdotally and from the research, that people think responsible gaming isn’t for them because they “don't have a problem.” In the past when I oversaw responsible gaming programming at brick-and-mortar casinos, customers would make jokes about not needing responsible gaming. When exhibiting at events, I would see people making wide berths around the table to avoid the perception of “having a problem” (I know this because sometimes we’d ask people why they avoided our table!). And this idea that “responsible gaming” = “problem gambling” is exactly the narrative we’re working to combat. It’s clear that we need to shift the story to more of a normalized approach. Our newly enhanced Responsible Gaming (RG) Center underscores this commitment by serving as a comprehensive, centralized hub for all of DraftKings’ RG resources, tools, and support. The RG Center was designed with our players in mind, using approachable and welcoming language to encourage players of all experience levels to embrace responsible gaming practices. Whether it’s setting deposit, time, or wager limits, taking a break, reviewing tips on responsible gaming or finding local resources, players can now find everything they need in one place to play within their means and keep the experience fun and only as a form of entertainment. We’ve also included features like payment method options and check-in reminders to provide additional layers of support. The early results since the launch of the new RG Center are promising. We’ve seen a significant increase in visits to our RG Limits pages, reflecting that our players are not only finding these tools more easily but are also more inclined to use them. By enhancing the discoverability and usability of these tools, we’re fostering a more responsible environment for all our players. This initiative is about more than just reducing potentially problematic play—though that is, of course, a critical goal. It’s also about empowering all customers to take control of their experience, to play within their means, and to enjoy gaming only as a form of entertainment. I’m excited about the future of helping to bust the misunderstandings that surround RG, and leverage more and more influencer talent to help drive home the message. It may take a bit of time to move the needle on the stigma attached to RG, but collaboratively we can get there. As our slogan goes, “It’s More Fun When It’s for Fun,” and we want players’ experiences to stay that way. #RGEM2024

September’s Responsible Gaming Education Month (#RGEM2024) is a fitting time to reflect on collaborations that advance responsible gaming through education, training, and the sharing of crucial information. Check out my new article below.

Last week, I spoke at SEMAFOR and the American Gaming Association's 'Betting on the Future of U.S. Gaming' Panel with Melonie Ducre Johnson of MGM National Harbor. Our discussion focused on the legal gaming industry's dedication to ensuring that gaming remains a source of fun and entertainment for everyone. While the legal online gaming industry is competitive, when it comes to RG, the more we collaborate and share information about #consumerprotection, the stronger we all are.
