DraftKings CEO Jason Robins Urges Parents to Talk to Their Kids About Gambling

DraftKings co-founder and CEO Jason Robins thinks parents share the responsibility of keeping children away from gambling, alongside the broader gaming industry and his $10 billion company. Appearing this week on CNBC with gaming reporter Contessa Brewer, Robins discussed how raising children in a culture where gambling is prevalent presents new challenges for parents. It’s his belief that keeping lines of communication open between parents and their kids is key in preventing underage gambling. According to the DraftKings executive, family conversations surrounding gambling should be normalized at home, comparable to discussions regarding alcohol and sex.
