A class action lawsuit was filed in Louisiana against FanDuel and DraftKings, alleging their apps exploit addictive behavior. The suit also names two casino licensees. Plaintiffs seek refunds and damages, citing a 75% market share for the two companies in 2023. The lawsuit claims 96% of customers lose money, driving the need for addictive design.

DraftKings (DKNG) shares are down 40% YTD, but Morningstar analyst Dan Wasiolek argues the stock is undervalued, with a $39 fair value estimate. Despite regulatory uncertainty, Morningstar rates it five stars, forecasting 8.1% sales and 24.9% EBITDA growth from 2026-2035. The NBA's crackdown on player proposition markets is not expected to hinder sports betting demand.
