A 32-year-old groom-to-be is suing DraftKings after wagering more than $2 million on the platform, ultimately draining his wedding fund, costing him his job and leading him to the brink of suicide before he finally got help, according to court filings reviewed by The Independent.
In a complaint filed June 24 in Chicago federal court, Illinois resident Dane Miller, who opened his DraftKings account in 2020, accuses the online sportsbook of ignoring obvious signs he had a gambling problem and instead accelerated his addiction by eliminating safeguards while disingenuously “touting a commitment to ‘responsible gaming.’”
