ProPublica is collecting data from users of sports betting apps like FanDuel and DraftKings to investigate how these platforms interact with their customers. The project aims to gather at least 250 transaction histories to analyze trends in user engagement and company practices, such as incentives for continued play and warnings about responsible gaming. Users can submit their data through a browser extension or by sharing files directly on the ProPublica website.

Story summary
ProPublica is asking for help from users of sports betting apps like FanDuel and DraftKings to understand how these platforms engage with their customers. The organization wants participants to share their transaction histories and insights on when the companies offer bonuses, invite them into VIP programs, or send responsible gaming notices. ProPublica aims to collect data from at least 250 individuals who have used these apps. Users can contribute by downloading their betting history through a browser extension provided by ProPublica. Currently, only around 5 people have shared their data so far. The process is expected to take 5 to 10 minutes and requires access to a computer. Additionally, those with industry experience are invited to answer questions via the Signal app or directly contact ProPublica for assistance.
