It is not wholly on sports betting companies to help problem gamblers overcome their addiction, according to recent comments by DraftKings CEO Jason Robins.

In an interview published by Fortune…Robins discussed the role betting companies like DraftKings have in battling problem gambling and maintained that they can only do so much.

“It’s not this black-and-white line,” Robins said in the article. “There is some onus on the individual in these situations, too. But there’s a role we also have to play. We have to make sure that we’re both doing what we can to prevent it.”

“People who have gambling issues, they’re going to have a gambling issue.”
