They are getting super mainstream now and they are spending big bucks on advertising with celebrities and whatnot

the promos look too good to be true which means they probably are...

I mean hell, there's apparently an app where you play one of those arcade claw games from your phone and can win real prizes lol. And of course, a shitload of reviews say it's a scam.

Well now that sports gambling is legal in a lot of states now it makes sense that they're trying to advertise it. The promos are just to get people hooked, once you win it becomes much more of an addiction. The house always wins so they're totally fine paying out the first couple bets.

A lot of them have been around a while, they used to be just daily fantasy like Draft kings but have transitioned to be just sports betting.

Shady because of preying on gambling addictions, etc. or shady because you think it's rigged or something?

Didn't it turn out the owners of one were rigging it so their family members won the big prizes.

Most of the legal ones are not shady at all.

One of the good things about regulating it is that they have to answer to gaming commissions and not deceive customers. In fact, there have been a few stories of weird things happening and the regulators getting involved to help the patrons.

It can be both, but one is more interesting of a conversation than the other.

About like 80% of the football teams in Europe have a sports betting company as a shirt sponsor.
