00:00All right, let's get over to FanDuel, and we know the American Gaming Association is
00:08trying to make sure everybody is informed going into this upcoming NFL season how to
00:11bet responsibly.
00:12And it looks like, you know, players who are of the younger side is particularly of FanDuel's
00:18interest, making sure that they understand the risks of sports wagering.
00:21Yeah, the theme kind of of this past year has been what can the industry do to not only
00:26promote responsible gaming, but make it beyond just a boilerplate, hey, bet responsibly,
00:32here's a number.
00:33So you're seeing the leaders like FanDuel go in and start kind of their own initiatives
00:37on their own without waiting for, you know, the industry to tell them something without
00:41waiting for, you know, some kind of crackdown or anything like that.
00:46So they're launching this new campaign with a former NBA player, Randy Livingston, which
00:50is centered around parents having meaningful conversations with their children or coaches
00:55having meaningful conversation with the kids they coach about the dangers and risks of
01:00gambling, how to spot early warning signs, how to seek help.
01:03You know, sports betting is such a new thing in the light of our society.
01:08It's obviously been going around, been going on for a long time, but it's now on commercials.
01:13Kids see it all the time.
01:14So FanDuel wants to make sure that, you know, you're having a conversation with your kid
01:18similar to the way you might talk about alcohol when they're, you know, turning 18 or around
01:22high school age.
01:23So they want to give parents and coaches those resources because a lot of the times I think
01:27people just don't really know how to talk about this in general.
01:29You know, it's great to say that responsibly or be careful, but what does that really mean?
01:33How do you give people help?
01:34So they launched this series this week, which is a bunch of meaningful conversations with
01:38this coach who's a former NBA player who's going to try to give people the tools and
01:43give parents the resources to inform the kids about the dangers of gambling.
01:48So hopefully it works out for FanDuel.
01:50Hopefully it's a good campaign that gets picked up a lot nationally.
