FanDuel Launches “Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting” Focused on Helping Parents and Families Discuss Gambling
September marks Responsible Gaming Education Month, and FanDuel, the premier online gaming company in North America, announced a new partnership with former NBA player and basketball coach Randy Livingston and his wife, sports agent Anita Smith, to launch “Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting”. This new program and resource hub is designed to equip trusted adults, including parents, guardians, and coaches, with tools and resources to talk to young people about gambling, associated risks, how to recognize warning signs, and where to go for support.
In the “Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting” video series, Livingston and Smith detail Livingston’s incredible journey as a five-star prep phenom who went on to play several years in the NBA while also struggling with problem gambling. Livingston shares the story of his initial exposure to gambling, his rock-bottom moment and his journey to recovery with the help of his wife, Smith.
Livingston and Smith hope that their family’s story will help others going through similar experiences, and they have created educational resources for individuals to learn more about the risks of gambling, warning signs to look out for and how to begin gambling-related family conversations. The content emphasizes the importance of modeling responsibility for adults who choose to bet. They also take time to break down what proxy betting is and the importance of not allowing those under-21 access to sports betting platforms. Trusted Voices program content was created in consultation with EPIC Global Solutions, an organization that provides gambling harm prevention solutions. The program and its accompanying resources are available at ConversationsAboutBetting.com, which will continue to be updated with additional content in the coming months.
“As legal sports betting continues to become more accessible, I knew I wanted to use my experience to help families engage in proactive and informed conversations about gambling. It became apparent to me and Anita that FanDuel shares our goal of helping parents navigate these tough, but important conversations,” said Livingston.
“It is important to normalize conversations about gambling, and this program is intended to help families get comfortable with traditionally uncomfortable conversations. Randy and I are delighted to work with FanDuel to amplify the program’s content and drive positive outcomes for young people and anyone who may be struggling with problem gambling,” said Smith.
“Randy and Anita have an incredible story and a desire to help others, and we are excited to expand our advocacy program to raise awareness of the importance of having early and informed family conversations about gambling and the associated risks. FanDuel aims to set and continuously raise the standard for what it means to be a responsible operator, and we look forward to Randy and Anita strengthening our RG ambassador team moving forward,” said Alison Kutler, Vice President, Responsible Gaming and Community Impact at FanDuel.
Video content from the program will be supported with paid media on digital, shared across FanDuel social channels and featured on fanduel.com/playwell.
“Randy’s experience of problem gambling, coupled with Anita’s first-hand account of what it is like to live alongside someone in that situation, makes for a powerful message and ensures that people sit up and listen. We are proud to have played our part in bringing this program to life and commend FanDuel for being proactive around encouraging families to be open in their discussions around engagement with gambling,” Teresa Fiore, VP of Partnerships at EPIC Global Solutions, said.
FanDuel, North America’s premier online gaming company, announced the introduction of My Spend, a new personalized responsible gaming dashboard designed to help customers track spending patterns and manage their budget. Customers can view personal stats related to their engagement with FanDuel, including amount deposited and net winnings over the last seven days, four weeks, or three months. The My Spend dashboard also encourages customers to utilize the existing suite of responsible gaming tools FanDuel offers, including deposit limits and wager limits. The tool was developed based on internal and external research demonstrating players’ interest in personalized activity insights and a deeper understanding of their own behavior.
FanDuel is supporting the launch of My Spend with a new advertising campaign that encourages customers to engage with the dashboard and stay on track with spending and budget habits. The new spot will air in both English and Spanish across television, digital and paid social and can be viewed here.
“FanDuel believes our customers should always have a budget and plan in mind when they engage with our products, and we are thrilled to introduce My Spend to help customers track their spending and manage their play. As we look to continuously raise the standard for what it means to be a responsible operator, we look forward to continuing to bring new and innovative ways support our customers,” said Alison Kutler, Vice President of Responsible Gaming and Community Impact at FanDuel.
FanDuel, North America’s premier online gaming company, announced a new partnership with the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) becoming an Official Sportsbook Partner and exclusive In-app Streaming Partner in the US.
