Senators Richard Blumenthal and Representatives Paul Tonko and Valerie Foushee sent a second letter to FanDuel on September 3, telling the company its August 14 response to their congressional inquiry was misleading and incomplete.
The original August 10 letter posed eight questions about FanDuel's invite-only VIP program, including whether the company trains VIP hosts to cultivate personal relationships with customers to drive higher wagering. FanDuel replied that it spent $158 million on responsible gaming initiatives in 2025 and reviews accounts before granting VIP access, but left several questions unanswered.
The September 3 letter states that FanDuel appeared to be promoting addiction rather than taking active steps to protect bettors. The underlying case involves a VIP customer who alleges he lost more than $1.5 million through FanDuel's app after receiving a personalized video from Philadelphia Phillies player Bryce Harper — a video Harper's representatives say was sent without his consent.
