“I ask me people to contact me all the time after hearing my story and heard about the partnership I have with Fanduel by asking how we can help,” he told PK Press Club Digital on Radio Row Before the Super Bowl on Sunday in New Orleans.
“Because there is a small percentage of people who will need help who unfortunately cannot play in a responsible and recreational way. I think we are starting to see the fruit of work after the last four years where people are now aware.

Carton says that this partnership does not only help people who can have trouble with controlled game, it also helps him when he hears stories of open people.
“For many people, (anonymous gamblers) is the only answer,” he said. “I went to Ga, and it’s great for the majority of people. For me, talking to new people I have not spoken for years of problematic play and how to overcome it is absolutely therapeutic.
“When I do” The Comeback “, a new show that we are first on Fanduel, or” Hello, my name is Craig “on Audacy and Wfan in New York, it’s my GA. You can hear the stories D ‘Other people, share my story.
“It is a good reminder for me, even if I am almost seven years without playing, so it will be intelligent. Hearing the story of the recovery of others, the worst moment of life that they are ready to verbalize, is selfishly Very healthy for me to hear. “

Carton preaches responsible games because of the way it has become so standardized throughout the country. And that means that the next generation will grow in this world.
“It is the largest target group of people we worry about because 21-year-old children are children,” he said. “They are always immature and do not really get the full value of a dollar. So you want to make sure that these children have enough information as possible, especially when you have certain states … I was talking to a program radio in North Carolina today.
“Huge university basketball, state of university football. So, if you are a college, it makes sense.” Oh, I’m going to bet on North Carolina, Duke, NC State “, whatever. Children who are now legally authorized to do so that worries us the most.
“My children, the next generation of players, or just people who love sport, talking about games will now be a table conversation.”
Cardboard does not say that the conversation on the dinner table is a bad thing. He believes, because the sports game is standardized, that talking to friends and family of your problem, or talking to someone you love who shows signs of problematic play, will not be stigmatized.

“A good part of this is that if it is normalized, if it is integrated, it is now much easier to ask for help. Because when I crossed it, it was not much.” -Ali said. “No one wants to admit that they are a drug addict. Your ego comes into play, “go, I’m fine!”
“If you have a friend who worries you, talk to them. It is n ° 1. You are the first line of defense. Before the family, they are friends who will know that their friends are not themselves. They do not act normally.
“So do it, do it responsible for it, affect a responsible amount of money on this subject as you could go to the movies or a Broadway program. If you win, great. Put part of this money. If you lose, don ‘I think the answer is: “Well, let me get out of it.
