"FanDuel takes responsible gaming very, very seriously. So we have a range of ways we do that. The number one way we do that is a series of tools that we encourage all North Carolinians to sign up for when they download the app," said Chris Jones, FanDuel communications head. "They include a time limit, a wager limit, and a deposit limit, and you will set all those. The fourth thing we want you to do is to check your player activity statement, like your credit card statement or your bank statement."
