NEW: Our reporter deliberately bet like a problem gambler on DraftKings to investigate its guardrails. The story went viral. The company’s CEO downplayed it.

I Investigated the Online Sports Betting Industry. DraftKings Shut Down My Account.

I deliberately bet like a problem gambler to test the company’s user safety net. After the investigation went viral, DraftKings downplayed my reporting, closed my account — and sent me a check for 94 cents.
