Harper distances himself from FanDuel Cameo gambling promo

MLB star Bryce Harper says he didn’t know a Cameo video he recorded for a VIP client would be used as a FanDuel gambling promotion and that he has no affiliation with FanDuel. The clip, tied to Terry Thompson who later faced large gambling losses and is suing FanDuel and DraftKings, was edited with FanDuel branding; Harper read a script in good faith and did not consent to promotional use. The Philadelphia Inquirer story prompted Harper’s public denial and underscores concerns about how gambling promotions target vulnerable bettors.
