In New York, sports betting has been legalized since January. Companies like FanDuel and DraftKings are aggressively promoting their betting apps to sports fans. They are also targeting colleges and universities. Caesar's offered a five-year deal of $8.4 million to Michigan State University. Some fans are concerned about gambling taking away from the integrity of the game. It is also possible to develop a gambling addiction.
