DraftKings Chief Responsible Gaming Officer Lori Kalani has pledged to “work [herself] out of a job” as she strives to get 100% of the operator’s customers familiar with its safer gambling tools.

Speaking at SBC Summit Americas on Wednesday morning, Kalani described how DraftKings was approaching its internal responsible gambling strategy, alongside its role as a founding member of the Responsible Online Gaming Association.

Setting herself the ambitious goal of reducing gambling harm to the point her role was no longer required, she said “I’m going to work myself out of a job. That’s what the future looks like. There’s going to be nothing to repair.”

Kalani joined DraftKings in April 2024 as the operator’s first Chief Responsible Gaming Officer.
