Three members of the United States Congress have called on FanDuel Sportsbook, Major League Baseball (MLB) and the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) to review their policies following controversy over a personalized video featuring Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper that was reportedly provided as a reward to a VIP sportsbook customer.
The controversy began after reports revealed that FanDuel had used a 21-second personalized message from Harper as part of a VIP customer reward.
Harper later said he was unaware that the recording would be used by FanDuel as part of a gambling promotion.
FanDuel then put its own logo on the video and used it as a gambling promotion.”
Reports stated that Thompson wagered $18.5 million with FanDuel before receiving VIP benefits, including the Harper video.
