Case eventThe City of Baltimore sued DraftKings and Flutter Entertainment, the parent company of FanDuel, in Baltimore City Circuit Court. The complaint alleges the companies use misleading promotions such as bonus bets to attract bettors and then use data and analytics to keep problem gamblers betting, in violation of the city's Consumer Protection Ordinance. The city seeks statutory penalties and a court order requiring the companies to stop targeting people with gambling disorders. FanDuel said it does not comment on pending litigation and that it is confident it operates in accordance with all laws, including those enforced by Maryland's Lottery and Gaming Control Commission. DraftKings did not provide a statement. These are allegations. No court has ruled on them.
