In order to play daily fantasy sports you need a credit card, computer, and internet connection, which are pretty high barriers to entry for people without means. I feel a lot worse about the ads for the lottery our "divine government" pays to plaster all over the subway stations, convenient stores, and other places where the poorest people in my city congregate.
One is a direct attempt to take advantage of the poor, the other is actually targeted at people with money.
- carlmcqueen 10y agoI understand what you're saying but you can use these sites from smartphones, smartphones are given away for free through government programs and the internet is greatly reduced in price on these phones as mandated by the government.

I worry at times that the idea that these fantasy sport games give in terms of skill and being 'better at it' is what keeps these people playing despite ample evidence they lose a lot.
