Cory Fox, the vice president of product and new market compliance for FanDuel, didn’t choose the ideal wording when he said during Wednesday’s public meeting hosted by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, “This is a very limited set of users.”
The topic of the meeting was the practice of regulated sportsbooks in Massachusetts (and throughout the U.S.) restricting the amounts certain customers can wager, and Fox was trying to say that FanDuel’s capping of bets applies only to a tiny percentage of its customers. But without the precise context, it could have sounded like he was taking the aggrieved bettors’ side.
Yes, Mr. Fox, as users we have indeed been “very limited.”
