Unaffiliated Veteran. You are a vital part of democracy! The number one freedom in the US is to be ignorant of those that are not white. The number two is to deny their ignorance. Decolonise your mind! www.vote.org

We're reporting on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for 250+ people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-bett…
A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 63 people's sports betting data, over 20% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)
