DraftKings embarks on month-long responsible gambling campaign for Responsible Gaming Education Month (RGEM).
Sportsbook operator DraftKings is running a month-long campaign as part of Responsible Gaming Education Month in September. That includes the launch of a sweepstakes tied to the start of the NFL season that offers players the chance to win NFL tickets, including a grand prize trip to Super Bowl LX. Users will need to engage with responsible gambling tools like My Budget Builder and My Stat Sheet.
“We are excited to launch our sweepstakes initiative in celebration of Responsible Gaming Education Month, inviting customers to explore our tools in a fun and engaging way,” said Lori Kalani, Chief Responsible Gaming Officer at DraftKings. “As a leading operator, we are committed to providing customers with tools that support responsible play and enhance their experience.
“This campaign recognizes and celebrates customers who use these resources, helping to foster a more informed and responsible gaming culture. Responsible gaming has been part of the DraftKings experience from day one, and we are proud to continue building on that foundation as the industry evolves.”
The campaign follows DraftKings being slapped with a federal class action lawsuit for using exploitative marketing tactics back in May. Since then, DraftKings has run a similar responsible gambling campaign tied to March Madness.
“These efforts reflect DraftKings’ ongoing commitment to delivering a fun, responsible, and best-in-class experience for all customers,” said the company in a statement. “Through continued investment, the company is expanding access to industry-leading tools and integrating responsible play throughout the customer journey.”
DraftKings has also made its new Code of Responsible Play public with millions of customers ahead of the NFL season, with direct encouragement to play responsibly and respect everyone involved in the game – as well as have fun.

The Indonesian National Police Force has seized more than $10 million (Rp154.3 billion) in a large-scale operation against online gambling.
The Polri, as Indonesia’s police force is called, froze the assets and seized 811 bank accounts containing more than $10 million in total. The operation is part of a wider crackdown on online gambling, which is illegal in the country.
“All are suspected to be linked to online gambling activity,” Senior Commissioner Ferdy Saragih from the Cybercrime Directorate of Polri’s Criminal Investigation Unit told the press. He went on to state that, of the total 811, the directorate froze 576 accounts worth Rp63.7 billion ($3.8 million) and seized 235 accounts containing Rp90.6 billion ($5.5 million).
The Polri operation was carried out in coordination with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), based on reports from the financial intelligence agency. Investigations are still ongoing and are being carried out under Supreme Court Regulation No. 1/2013, with updates expected at a press conference soon.
“This is not the final step,” Saragih added. “We will continue to track and dismantle online gambling networks. It is part of our commitment to cleaning up illegal activity in the digital space.”
Online gambling in Indonesia
Polri Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has ordered a stronger crackdown on online gambling, which is illegal in Indonesia. He also called for more resources to go towards the enforcement of anti-money laundering laws targeting major operators to enable asset seizure and recovery by the state.
This year alone, there have already been at least one major operation in Indonesia where $36.5 million was frozen and seized, as well as launching a campaign on the “blood-sucking” nature of online gambling. This came alongside the purge of more than two million websites offering gambling services, thought to be operated from Cambodia.
