Public Health Advocacy Institute Files Lawsuit Against Sports Betting Companies and the NFL for Alleged Addiction-Encouraging Practices.

Public Health Advocacy Institute (PHAI) has filed a lawsuit against DraftKings, FanDuel, Genius Sports, and the National Football League (NFL) alleging that they develop and profit from an unreasonably dangerous product that leads to addiction. The lawsuit claims that the defendants use digital technology and software to create addicted gamblers and encourage them to make more microbets. The NFL is named as a defendant due to its licensing of player and game data to Genius Sports and its ownership stake in the company.
