Jason Robins is a co-founder, chief executive officer and board chairman of DraftKings, the Boston-based sports and gaming company launched in 2012.
Case
EFF and Senator Richard Blumenthal call DraftKings' alleged AI promotion targeting exploitative. The company denies targeting customers based on losses or gambling-risk indicators. Massachusetts regulators are reviewing operators' AI use.
Role at the time: DraftKings co-founder and chief executive officer, interviewed at TheGrill
Response to this claim
DraftKings does not build models to target customers with problem-gambling issues for additional promotions.
“We don’t try to target them and give them more promotions to spend more.”
Robins says the alleged targeting does not occur. That is a denial of conduct, not an argument that targeting vulnerable gamblers would be justified.
