New problem gambling recovery show with Craig Carton premieres and 'Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting' program introduces new resources
NEW YORK, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month, and FanDuel, North America's premier online gaming company, is continuing to build its Responsible Gaming platform through new programming designed to expand access to responsible gaming education. The company is expanding its relationship with Craig Carton to launch 'The Comeback with Craig Carton,' a new FanDuel TV show that will focus on problem gambling recovery. FanDuel is also adding new resources to the Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting program that launched last year. Combined with continued support for non-profit partners, these initiatives continue to raise the visibility of problem gambling resources and responsible gaming education.
'FanDuel remains steadfast in its commitment to leading the industry in responsible gaming, and we are proud to introduce industry-first content and programs designed to destigmatize problem gambling and offer education on responsible play,' said Cory Fox, FanDuel Senior Vice President of Public Policy and Sustainability. 'Our new FanDuel TV show with Craig Carton, expanded Trusted Voices program and investments in education and advocacy are part of our year-round commitment to responsible gaming, and we look forward to continuing to offer innovative products and programs to our customers.'
New Problem Gambling Recovery Show on FanDuel TV
Former NBA player and basketball coach Randy Livingston and his wife, sports agent Anita Smith, are FanDuel responsible gaming ambassadors and recently appeared on the first episode of 'The Comeback with Craig Carton,' a new show on FanDuel TV focused on problem gambling recovery and hosted by FanDuel's responsible gaming ambassador Craig Carton. The show features Carton sitting down with those who have experienced the highs and lows of gambling addiction to amplify their stories, break down the stigma surrounding gambling disorder, raise awareness of support resources for individuals and their families and show that recovery is possible. Livingston and Smith were Carton's first guests and spoke about their family's history with problem gambling, including the challenges Livingston faced as a recovered problem gambler and Smith faced as his spouse. The episode is now streaming on YouTube and FanDuel TV+ and is viewable here.
Trusted Voices Program Expansion and Promotion
New resources from the Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting program are coming to ConversationsAboutBetting.com. The updates include new resources for college students, their parents and university staff, including content from KnowYourPlay.org, co-developed by ROGA in partnership with EPIC Global Solutions, Kindbridge Behavioral Health and the Responsible Gambling Council. FanDuel launched Trusted Voices with Livingston and Smith last year. The program is designed to equip trusted adults, including parents, guardians and coaches, with tools and resources to talk to young people about gambling, associated risks, how to recognize warning signs and where to go for support. FanDuel is putting paid support behind the program across radio, digital, social and digital out of home, with the ad campaign aiming to raise awareness of the risks of underage gambling and equip parents and coaches to have proactive and informed conversations about gambling.
Amplifying Gambling Disorder Screening Day
This year's Gambling Disorder Screening Day, an effort originally founded by the Cambridge Health Alliance's Division on Addiction, took place on March 11, and FanDuel partnered with Kindbridge Behavioral Health to empower customers nationwide with resources for informed decision making. FanDuel provided customers with Kindbridge's free, confidential Gambling Disorder Screener and highlighted the telehealth counseling and support services available through Kindbridge for those seeking help. FanDuel also amplified awareness of the day across its social channels.
Supporting Non-Profit Partnerships
FanDuel is donating $150,000 to the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) that will further support the NCPG's Agility Grants program, which is funded by the NFL via the NFL Foundation. This program provides funding to non-profit organizations across the country for problem gambling prevention in areas that currently have no services or to expand existing programming.
'We are grateful to FanDuel for their generous support of the Agility Grants program,' said NCPG board president Susan Sheridan Tucker. 'As the first national grant initiative dedicated to problem gambling prevention, this funding expands our ability to support community-based programs, strengthening the reach and impact of problem gambling prevention efforts nationwide.'
FanDuel will also make an additional $150,000 donation to the International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG). The organization is dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by gambling disorder and preventing the onset of gambling problems through high-quality scientific research and evidence-based educational programming. The donation will help fund the creation of a Center of Excellence (COE) focused on advancing research in responsible gambling behaviors. The COE will generate evidence-based insights to help contribute to industry-wide advancements in player protection, engagement strategies and RG messaging.
'We are proud to partner with FanDuel as we work together to advance critical research that will shape the future of responsible gambling strategies,' said Arthur Paikowsky, President of ICRG. 'Support from FanDuel is helping fund a Center of Excellence focused on responsible gaming behaviors, and we look forward to generating evidence-based insights that make a positive impact on communities.'

Ex-MLB star Sean Casey 'completely tore his hamstring' during Savannah Bananas game, broadcaster says
Sean Casey, a former MLB All-Star with the Cincinnati Reds, reportedly suffered a serious injury while he played for the highly popular Savannah Bananas baseball team on Friday night. Cassey suffered a torn hamstring while running the bases as the team played at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, FanDuel Sports Network broadcaster Jim Day said during the Reds' game against the Detroit Tigers. "It is real when you're running and you're 51 years of age," Day said, via The Cincinnati Enquirer. "He got a massive ovation. And he was at the plate. And he was rounding first base, thinking about going to second. And the crowd was cheering him on. Now he grabbed his hamstring. "I thought he was just playing to the crowd. You know like, 'Hey, I'm an older guy and it's hard for me to run.' Turns out he completely tore his hamstring. He completely tore the hamstring off the bone. He's got surgery this week. Took one for the team. . . . We wish Sean Casey the best. That's a tough one right there." The incident occurred in the bottom of the seventh inning. Casey was at the plate when the ball got away from the catcher. He took off for first. As Casey came around first base, he started to tug at his hamstring. The Bananas sent a pinch-runner for Casey and he came off of the field. "What a moment to have one more AB in front of the greatest fans in the world last night in Cincinnati!!" Casey wrote on X. "Thx to @TheSavBananas n @YellowTuxJesse for the opportunity! Banana Ball is so fun, what an experience! I was hoping for one more double in the gap, but I'll take the walk for the team n tight morning hammy."

Click here to sign up and claim this offer to bet $5 and win $200 to start your account the right way. Hockey fans have been treated to three overtime games so far in the Stanley Cup Final. Leon Draisaitl came through for the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4 to tie the series up at 2-2 with the Florida Panthers. Game 5 on Saturday presents a great opportunity to claim this offer, along with MLB games like Yankees-Red Sox or the U.S. Open. FanDuel Promo Code For Panthers-Oilers Game 5, More FanDuel Promo Code No Code Required New User Offer Bet $5, Get $200 in Bonus Bets With a Win In-App Promos NHL Profit Boost, Golf No Sweat Bet, 30% WNBA Boost, etc. Terms and Conditions New Customers – 21+ in Eligible States Bonus Last Verified On June 14, 2025 Information Confirmed By Newsweek Sports Betting When you are set up with your new account, you should survey the different markets available across FanDuel Sportsbook. It is important that you place your $5 bet on a bet that you feel has a good chance of settling as a win. This way, you will maximize your chances of winning the $200 in bonus bets. If you want to bet on Panthers-Oilers Game 5, it might be a good idea to look at some shots on goal prop bets for certain players. Betting on either team on the moneyline could be risky, as most of the games in this series have come down to a bounce of the puck. This goes for MLB games, too. Predicting the winner of an individual game is risky. You might be better served betting on a pitcher to strike out a given number of batters in a start. Or you could bet on where a player will finish in a certain round of the U.S. Open. Odds, Preview For Panthers-Oilers Game 5 The Oilers were on the verge of falling down 3-1 against the Panthers. Instead, they came back from 3-0 down in Game 4 to take a 4-3 lead. Sam Reinhart tied the game for the Panthers with under 20 seconds to go, but Leon Draisaitl saved the day for Edmonton by scoring the overtime winner. Now, the series goes back to Edmonton for Game 5 at 2-2, and it is essentially a best-of-three, with Games 5 and 7 in Edmonton. Below is the spread, moneyline and over/under odds for Game 5 on Saturday: Panthers: +1.5 (-250) / +104 / O6.5 (+104) Oilers: -1.5 (+198) / -125 / U6.5 (-128) Register With FanDuel Promo Code Start the sign-up process by clicking here or on any of our other links.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Betting Odds: List of All Teams and Their Chances
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Part of the joy (or stress) of sports is that anything can happen between the whistles. Do favorites usually come out on top? Sure, but we've all seen plenty of upsets. That's especially true in a tournament; it seems like there's always at least one underdog that makes a fairy tale run. And with this year's expanded FIFA Club World Cup field, there are bound to be plenty of opportunities for an upset. Most fans have probably heard of clubs like PSG, Real Madrid and Manchester City, but how do you assess a matchup between the likes of Wydad AC and Al Ain FC? With that in mind, let's take a look every club's odds (per FanDuel) of winning the entire tournament. Just remember that these were from before play kicked off, and a single result can turn everything upside down. Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid celebrates scoring his team's first goal from the penalty spot during a LaLiga match at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on March 29, 2025 in Madrid, Spain. Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid celebrates scoring his team's first goal from the penalty spot during a LaLiga match at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on March 29, 2025 in Madrid, Will Play in the Club World Cup 2025? In previous years, the Club World Cup was a relatively small affair featuring the champions of each confederation's tournament plus a host representative. This time around, though, the field was expanded to 32 teams. So who's in the competition? The full list is: SE Palmeiras (BRA) FC Porto (POR) Al Ahly FC (EGY) Inter Miami CF (USA) Paris Saint-Germain (FRA) Atlético de Madrid (ESP) Botafogo (BRA) Seattle Sounders FC (USA) FC Bayern München (GER) Auckland City FC (NZL) CA Boca Juniors (ARG) SL Benfica (POR) CR Flamengo (BRA) Espérance Sportive de Tunis (TUN) Chelsea FC (ENG) Los Angeles Football Club (USA) CA River Plate (ARG) Urawa Red Diamonds (JPN) CF Monterrey (MEX) FC Internazionale Milano (ITA) Fluminense FC (BRA) Borussia Dortmund (GER) Ulsan HD (KOR) Mamelodi Sundowns FC (RSA) Manchester City (ENG) Wydad AC (MOR) Al Ain FC (UAE) Juventus FC (ITA) Real Madrid C. F. (ESP) Al Hilal Saudi FC (KSA) CF Pachuca (MEX) FC Salzburg (AUT) When Is FIFA Club World Cup 2025? Since we're working with a bigger tournament field, this year's event will logically need to include more games. So, when will those take place? Group play kicks off on Saturday June 14, when Lionel Messi's Inter Miami takes on Al Ahly. Things will proceed for just under two weeks, and the Round of 16 will start on Saturday, June 28. After four match days, the quarterfinals will take place on July 4 and 5. The semifinal showdowns are on July 8 and 9. The tournament will then wrap up on Sunday, July 13 when the two final teams take the pitch in New Jersey. Group A Betting Odds SE Palmeiras: 31-1 FC Porto: 38-1 Al Ahly FC: 100-1 Inter Miami CF: 60-1 While Lionel Messi's Inter Miami will probably command plenty of eyeballs, it's not the favorite from within this group. That distinction goes to Brazil's Palmeiras, although Porto (Portugal) has a similar chance of lifting the trophy in the oddsmakers' eyes. Group B Betting Odds Paris Saint-Germain: 4.7-1 Atlético de Madrid: 15-1 Botafogo: 47-1 Seattle Sounders FC: 90-1 As the reigning UEFA Champions League winners, PSG understandably comes into this tournament as one of the favorites. They have the second-best odds overall. Atletico Madrid isn't a slouch, though, starting the tournament as the sixth-favorite squad. Group C Betting Odds FC Bayern München: 7-1 Auckland City FC: 1000-1 CA Boca Juniors: 38-1 SL Benfica: 38-1 In soccer, the size of your wage bill generally determines your success, and that reality shows up here as Bayern Munich towers over the competition. Benfica and Boca Juniors both have respectable odds, but they're in a different class from the German giant.

A detailed view of the FIFA Club World Cup trophy on display at BMO Stadium before the game between the Los Angeles FC and the Sporting Kansas City on June 08, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. MoreGroup D Betting Odds CR Flamengo: 31-1 Espérance Sportive de Tunis: 370-1 Chelsea FC: 10-1 Los Angeles Football Club: 75-1 Chelsea didn't have a perfect season, but they still finished in England's Champions League places and won the UEFA Conference League. Critics will say they did that by beating up on weaker competition, but they're one of the stronger squads in the Club World Cup, at least on paper. Group E Betting Odds CA River Plate: 38-1 Urawa Red Diamonds: 170-1 CF Monterrey: 170-1 FC Internazionale Milano: 17-1 Inter may have stumbled down the stretch in both their domestic league and the Champions League, but it's still the strongest team in their group. This will also be an early chance to see how Cristian Chivu, who's replacing Simone Inzaghi on the bench, will run things. Group F Betting Odds Fluminense FC: 47-1 Borussia Dortmund: 26-1 Ulsan HD: 150-1 Mamelodi Sundowns FC: 370-1 Dortmund is the beneficiary of a weak group, at least on paper. They probably won't win it all, but dealing with these three opponents shouldn't be too stern of a test. Group G Betting Odds Manchester City: 5-1 Wydad AC: 370-1 Al Ain FC: 150-1 Juventus FC: 26-1 Despite a down year, Manchester City towers over the Club World Cup as the third-favorite to win it all. If the newest additions—Rayan Aït-Nouri, Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders—hit the ground running, there's no reason to think City won't push toward the final. Group H Betting Odds Real Madrid C. F.: 4.1-1 Al Hilal: 60-1 CF Pachuca: 110-1 FC Salzburg: 75-1 While Real Madrid might have struggled on the European stage (at least by the club's lofty standards), it's impossible to argue with the attacking talent on their roster. Do Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo fit together perfectly as a front three? No, but they should be able to overpower weaker opposition.
