New Responsible Gaming Tool Helps DraftKings Users Set Limits

DraftKings has launched a new responsible gaming tool called "My Budget Builder" designed to help players set personalized limits on their gambling activities across all DraftKings platforms, including sportsbook, daily fantasy sports, and online casino sites.

The innovative tool guides users through various budgeting options based on their deposit amounts, wager sizes, time spent gambling, and potential losses. Players can choose between implementing strict limits or receiving timely reminders about their gambling activities.

How My Budget Builder Works

My Budget Builder offers flexibility in how players manage their gambling activities. Users can set parameters that remain in effect for daily, weekly, or monthly periods. Once these limits are established, they cannot be increased until the designated timeframe has elapsed, providing a built-in cooling-off mechanism.

This tool represents a significant addition to DraftKings' responsible gaming initiatives, giving players more control over their gambling habits while promoting safer play environments.

Part of a Broader Responsible Gaming Strategy

Lori Kalani, Chief Responsible Gaming Officer at DraftKings, emphasized the company's commitment to responsible gambling: "It reflects our ongoing commitment to creating fun, enjoyable environments for our players. By enhancing how players engage with limit-setting, we are providing another resource that players can use to help them play responsibly."

The introduction of My Budget Builder follows last year's successful launch of My Stat Sheet, another responsible gaming feature that provides players with detailed information about their gambling activities. According to DraftKings, My Stat Sheet has generated over 20 million visits since its introduction, demonstrating substantial player engagement with responsible gaming tools.

Industry Trends Toward Player Protection

The release of My Budget Builder comes at a time when the gambling industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding player safeguards. As the US gambling market continues its rapid expansion, lawmakers and advocacy groups have expressed concerns about potential gambling-related harms.

DraftKings' proactive approach to developing and implementing responsible gaming tools reflects the industry's growing recognition that sustainable growth depends on creating safer gambling environments for all players.

Players interested in utilizing My Budget Builder can access the tool through their DraftKings account across all platforms, including the company's popular sportsbook which currently offers new users a welcome bonus of up to $1,000 with a minimum deposit of just $5.

As online gambling continues to grow in popularity throughout the United States, tools like My Budget Builder represent important steps toward ensuring that the activity remains an entertainment option rather than a potential problem for vulnerable users.
