With advertising, it goes back to one thing I said previously they mislead with terms and conditions. These promos none of the public reads those terms and get misled into joining and thus gamble way beyond their means and we have the addiction problem.

There has been a lot exposed this year about the things that we’re missing from when paspa was exposed. The advertising oversight, the harassment issue which has become exposed this year thanks to inmature uneducated people who also whine when a player gets hurt they demand a void but that’s a different discussion. The lack of proactiveness by the industry and a lot of the states to make sure that college athletes and pro athletes can’t bet from their locations on campus or at facilities via geo blocking to where they can’t access the apps or even open up accounts prohibited bettor lists should of been mandated from the get go. I have to again pin point to the uk and other international communities or even the tobacco style of regulation for the sports betting advertising of it.

Coming from someone in the state of Nevada that bets I was ok with paspa been repealed and each state allowed to regulate but it should of done more cautiously with smart industry people, leagues, the public and regulators to come to a good middle ground where everyone is happy. We are instead this go down the path that is not good. We are seeing consolidation which is bad for the consumer, the addiction issue due to an over saturation of advertisement on a public that’s not the most educated, the scandals and harassment of athletes. I just wonder when the house of cards is gonna collapse as I see it coming sooner then later on the sports betting industry
