    I don’t often get super pissed about advertising, but Draft Kings has been super aggressive about advertising in my areas (maybe in every area in the U.S., not sure.) If I never hear “the crown is yours” again, it’ll be too soon.

      Missouri just made online sports betting legal, and this shit is everywhere.

      “Place a $5 bet and get $300 *”

      * $300 in Draft bucks usable only to make more bets †

      † If you actually win any decent amount of money, we’ll insta-perma-ban you and possibly stiff you your winnings.

        Too many people seem to forget that they can just do that.

        If you lose, they’ll fall over themselves to “keep you in the game”.

        If you win, you’ll mysteriously have broken some nebulous rule, and be banned. If you’re very very lucky, they might give you your $5 back, but they probably won’t.
