DraftKings has introduced a new tool called My Budget Builder to enhance its dedication to responsible gambling. This tool will be actively promoted to its players.
My Budget Builder is designed to help players stay in control
My Budget Builder is a tool designed to help players manage their betting limits and total spending, featuring a user-friendly interface and experience. This tool is accessible across DraftKings' entire platform, including the real-money sportsbook, casino, daily fantasy sports (DFS), and Pick6 websites and apps. When discussing the introduction of this tool, aimed at enhancing the company's commitment to responsible gaming (RG), DraftKings' Chief Responsible Gambling Officer Lori Kalani stated: My Budget Builder is an innovative Responsible Gaming tool—it's intuitive, proactive, and personalized. It demonstrates our ongoing commitment to creating enjoyable and fun environments for our players. By improving how players interact with limit-setting, we're offering another resource to help them play responsibly. Available through the DraftKings Responsible Gaming Center and the DraftKings app, this tool not only allows players to set limits and monitor their spending habits but also helps them understand the importance of these key metrics. Players can create personalized budgets to set deposit amounts, total wagers, maximum wager sizes, time spent, contest fees, loss limits, and virtually any metric that influences positive gaming behavior.
DraftKings has accounted for fail-safes
The company aims to encourage players to review all the core metrics they are interested in and set a pre-determined configuration that enables meaningful and sustained gameplay. DraftKings has taken an additional step by allowing users to lower their limits, but not increase them, until a certain amount of time has passed. This approach ensures that impulsive gamblers cannot rapidly increase their spending if they've already set their limits through My Budget Builder. DraftKings strives to create an accessible and innovative product that not only educates players about responsible and positive play but also protects them from gambling-related harm.
