62. Getting Your Time Back From Daily Fantasy Sports

62. Getting Your Time Back From Daily Fantasy Sports

Lots of people are playing fantasy sports. For some, particularly when you play daily or with multiple lineups, it can take up increasing amounts of time, focus and money. Steve Delaney joins us to share his experiences with this and how, for him, Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) turned into something that was stressful, costly and all-consuming.

Listen now to this episode and hear about:

  • The tricky ways that DFS can get out of hand
  • How to recognize signs of this in yourself and others
  • How DFS became a problem (twice) for Steve and what he and his wife did to address it
  • Steve's reflections on the need for more warnings to the public about the risks of fantasy sports betting as well as help and treatment services for those who need it.

If you would like to read more about why DFS can get out of control, signs of this, and where to get help, read the blog for this episode at www.gamblingproblemhelp.ca.
