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.
