    Got restricted at DK because "they're worried about me"

    Your account has been forwarded to the Player Protection Team for further review for a safe play check-in.

    We understand that on 6/5/2023, you contacted a member of the DraftKings VIP team and stated the following:

    Hi I need a free bet please. I keep losing and I am really broke. Betmgm keeps giving $50 free bets as I am a vip over there also. They given me about 10 in the last month and I haven't even made a deposit there in a while. 50 or 100 free bet would be much appreciated, thank you


    We've temporarily restricted your account for your protection and due to your statements.

    Your statement raises some questions, and we want to ensure you're using our site safely. So we wanted to check in with you to learn more about what you meant when corresponding with our VIP team. Please provide us with some more context and answer these questions if you'd like us to review your account for reactivation:

    Why did you make the above statements?
    Are you comfortable with your current level of play?
    Are you currently in any kind of financial bind due to your gaming activities?
    Do you ever find yourself chasing your losses?
    Are you depositing and engaging on our platform within your means?
    Are you solely dependent on Bonus Bets for your continued engagement on DraftKings?
    Do you need a break from DraftKings?
    Why do you want your account re-opened?

    We hate to bench our players, so we’ll review your statements and get back to you shortly. Your reinstatement will be determined by how you respond to our questions. We recommend that you take your time to compile your answers before responding.

    We’ve included our Responsible Gaming information for you to review. The information provides helpful resources, and we strongly encourage you to check them out.

    I understand they are a public traded company and all that. Problem I have you can't go anywhere physical like a brick-and-mortar joint. So technically it's just a digital platform. It would be different say if its offshore, but you know they actually have books at real physical casinos.

    They are covering their rear end of any back end liability your betting records and deposits might reflect.

    I sure wish you would think about changing your approach to betting.

    It's a mindset and if you can change yours, you will be so much happier in life.

    But that's up to you. Nobody can talk you in to that but yourself.

    You seem like a good guy and I wish you all the luck there is to wish.

    I wish you peace my man.

    Offshore books give me cash free plays occasionally when I on a loosing streak.You can't say things like "I'm broke" or "I'm in a really bad place" those are red flags.

    It doesn't matter how much free plays they give you. At the end of the day you will lose it all. You are not gambling for fun at this point. You have a disease. Seek help and try to enjoy the rest of your life without gambling involved.

    Another thing I failed to mention is I gave these fuks a ton of action, it wasnt like I was free loading. I wagered over 150k worth of action since may 1st. I felt that warranted at least asking for a free bet.

    Gambling isn't for fun. It's too win money. That's it.

    DK is worried about players? That's an effing joke. They allow people from majority of US to play... open accounts. But there are safety issues... financially? Get the F out of here acting like you're protecting us. Love how they give us players a pat on the back and say... there there.... it's time to take a break... you've played too much. It all started with men wanting to become women.... and women wanting to be men. Now... we have casinos who STEAL OUR MONEY... yet.... they are PROTECTING US FROM ABUSE. LOL You can't make this sh## up.

    WOJ... I'm all for you man... you simply asked for a few free plays... nothing wrong with that. It's business. Then they think you have an issue?? Is this like a drug dealer saying... hey man... you're TOO HIGH. I can't sell to you today. lol F this world.

    the wording about being broke must have triggered that response, some of these states must be telling the companies to not allow people to gamble if they aren't billionaires... like the beer companies saying "drink responsibly"! that's the last thing a beer company wants you to do

    in illinois i've had messages flash across the screen saying "you have made $3000 in bets in the last 30 minutes, here's a phone number for gamblers anonymous"

    5k a day is out of control IMO.

    Unless you are so loaded that when a serious play comes up, it's 25k.

    But that would be playing with the thought of trying to beat the game not get the daily fix.

    My average bet is between 100-250. Just tons and tons of action. Yes, when I go on runs I always feel like its never enough and my problem is I want to pay off all my debts with my winnings in 1 24 hour session

    Why did you make the above statements? - Because i Love you .

    Are you comfortable with your current level of play? No - But neither are you

    Are you currently in any kind of financial bind due to your gaming activities?- I sell my sperm to buy Big Macs and a small fry .

    Do you ever find yourself chasing your losses? Yes that is why i run fast

    Are you depositing and engaging on our platform within your means? Yes normally i am naked when i do it but i sometimes wear socks

    Are you solely dependent on Bonus Bets for your continued engagement on DraftKings?- Yes if we are engaged the least i can expect if i do not get a ring is a bonus bet

    Do you need a break from DraftKings?- Yes so i went and brought a Kit Kat bar.

    Why do you want your account re-opened? Do I ?Yes , No, Maybe- it is all the same . Have you seen my other sock?

    Simple question. Go to your Transaction Summary > Lifetime. What does it say for "wagers and entry fees" and "winnings". If you've bet a lot and your winnings is less, just stop. In other words, are you up?

    And yeah, if you tell a book you are broke and desperate, those are red flags and they will shut you down.

    Responsible Gambling guidelines mean any US licensed book you say things like "I am broke", "I need this money to pay bills", "I need this withdraw today to pay for my dieing mother's medical expenses" are required to investigate or suspend your account.

    Well you might end up with a suspended account then too if you "milk them" by crying poor.

    They care about their license as well as being sued by players for losses later.

    If they ignored Woj he could set them up for a civil court case down the track.

    5k in a day is nothing. I'm already above that right now.
