Oh, and guess what the only legal means for sports betting is in my state of Maryland! (lolsob)

No, I have not been using this but it has been so heavily promoted here and now a bunch of people from my state are probably victims of this hack.

It's heavy promoted everywhere. Online betting is advertised so heavily during hockey games now here in Ontario that's it's getting infuriating to watch.

It's advertised during every sport constantly. I was watching curling the other week and there was a draftkings ad during every commercial break

The money must be crazy, I've seen so many sports-related youtube channels that are sponsored by online betting and I can't understand why they would want that huge, long warning screen that basically says gambling is bad, while they're reading their ad.
Way to taint your content.

but hey lots of money I guess.

It’s a race to get market share and they are throwing all kinds of money around to get it, just like online food delivery.

It’s quite disconcerting to visually see a very close relationship between the league and the betting sites; ads on the boards during play, active players promoting and broadcasting companies having their own sites. Might not be long before something goes sideways.

What? I live in Maryland, and you can absolutely use Fanduel, Pointsbet, or Betrivers as alternatives to Draftkings. I've been having a blast using draftkings myself though because that free $200 they gave you for signing up earned me around 150, I pulled out 100 of it and bought a christmas present, and now am back up to 120. It went live right when Maryland terps basketball was finally taking off :D
