A Phillies gambling addict lost $2 MILLION. FanDuel's VIP team sent him a personalized celebrity video to keep him betting, recorded by Bryce Harper, who says he had no idea what it was for. – Terry Thompson, a Pennsylvania bettor, wagered $18.5 MILLION through FanDuel's VIP program and lost $2 MILLION. – As part of FanDuel's VIP perks, he received Super Bowl trips, champagne, and a dedicated VIP host arranging his experience. – In late 2024, that VIP host arranged a personalized Thanksgiving video from Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper, directly referencing Thompson's son, sent through the celebrity-video platform Cameo. – Thompson sold his own finance company and took out additional mortgages to keep funding his gambling. – In February 2026, he wagered his last $10,000 on a DraftKings parlay. – Harper has publicly stated he had no idea the video was being used to keep a struggling gambler betting, and says he wouldn't have participated if he'd known. – Thompson sued FanDuel and DraftKings in Philadelphia, alleging the companies knowingly cultivated his addiction through targeted perks. – Both companies are fighting to dismiss the case, arguing they had no legal obligation to stop lawful gambling and that VIP programs are standard industry practice. – In August 2026, U.S. lawmakers sent formal letters demanding FanDuel terminate what they called its "predatory" VIP program, citing Thompson's case directly. A company watched a man's losses climb into the millions and responded by sending him a personal message from his favorite baseball player to keep him playing.

You can't be this much of a degenerative gambler that you have turned to the likes of Celina Powell... You're putting yourself in positions that, actually, you're forgetting who you are. Like, you're still Offset, right?"
