I’m sure DK customers are excited by the opportunity to improve the company’s profit margins
(1/4) $DKNG CEO Jason Robins full quote on DraftKings winning bet tax:
"Obviously, some people might just react negatively to the idea of being charged at all, but it's really fairly nominal and it makes a huge difference in our ability to make a reasonable margin..."

"We need more outs". You can't bet if there's no book who'll take your action w/o limiting, pinwheeling or closing you.
In Sept, starting in OH & NJ, we'll take your bet up to the max amount, let you re-bet, no limiting,

It isn't a "market standard", injuries are part of the game, grow up, or just bet at rec shops that will close you down if you string together a couple of wins.

Dear American sports bettor: Why would you stake your hard-earned money on picks given to you by someone employed by the sportsbook where you bet? Regardless of whether or not state regulators ban this practice, you shouldn’t trust picks from a company shill. Thank you

So, because operators refuse service to legitimate players, forcing them to find alternate routes to play in regulated (vs black) markets, you’d cut that off and give them no alternative but offshore & the street? Doesn’t seem a proper solution for the states’ interests IMO
Beards. They should be against law or rule in every state. But they may not be. I doubt any legislator understood that betting accounts would be used by third parties to get down multiple bets in multiple states. And I'll tell you, ending that practice is an easy bill to pass.->

Yep, we had a tough Super Bowl - one minute it’s the best result (SF, under) next it’s the worst (KC, over). That’s the breaks for a real bookie. But the 500k we lost was marketing costs IMO. I hope every bettor out there thinks we’re easy and comes at us. We’re just fine, thanks
It's good and bad news for Prime Sportsbook in Ohio.
The operator had a record month for handle, $10M, which is really impressive and puts them in competition with Hard Rock.
The bad news is they lost $583K and are down $417K overall since launch
