Amid growing public health concerns, operators like DraftKings have touted “responsible gaming” tools and prompts. But as I went off the deep end, I found they were no match for the incentives and product design pushing me to keep going.

This is a great article on how DraftKings (an American online betting company) enables/weaponizes addiction against its users. Thankfully, DK is banned in most of Canada… but not in Ontario. Would love to see Ontario follow the rest of the nation and shut this down ASAP.
