DraftKings, FanDuel Targeted in Louisiana Lawsuit Alleging AI-Driven Gambling Exploitation

A Louisiana lawsuit accuses DraftKings and FanDuel of using tech-driven data on their mobile sports betting apps to deliberately target and exploit problem gamblers. Filed in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, the proposed class-action lawsuit demands a jury trial to determine if the Louisiana sportsbook leaders have violated state consumer protection laws. The crux of the complaint contends that DraftKings and FanDuel use AI-backed personalization to keep losing bettors wagering. The lawsuit alleges that the online sportsbooks ignore or bypass self-exclusion and responsible gaming tools in violation of Louisiana’s Sports Wagering Act.
