Reply to comment by HanaBothWays in Over 67,000 DraftKings Betting Accounts Hit by Hackers by chrisdh79

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.
