FanDuel, one of the biggest names in the U.S. sports betting market, has launched a new show tackling the risks of gambling addiction. According to Business Insider, the series “The Comeback with Craig Carton” will air monthly on YouTube and FanDuel TV Extra.

The show highlights personal stories of people who’ve battled problem gambling. It also dives into tools for managing addiction and where to find professional help. The debut episode is already live, featuring former NBA player Randy Livingston opening up about his struggles with sports betting.

Host Craig Carton hopes the series helps those facing gambling issues recognize the problem and seek help. Carton, a recovering gambling addict himself, teamed up with FanDuel back in 2021 to promote responsible gaming.

FanDuel VP Cory Fox told Business Insider the show aligns perfectly with the company’s mission to raise awareness about the risks tied to betting. As Fox pointed out, gambling addiction can hit anyone — and FanDuel wants to show what it really looks like.

FanDuel recently secured a spot on the Brand Finance Global 500 list of the world’s most valuable brands.
