FanDuel TV has launched “The Comeback With Craig Carton,” a new show focused on problem gambling recovery hosted by FanDuel's responsible gaming ambassador and FS1's “Breakfast Ball” Craig Carton. Carton sits down with those who have experienced the highs and lows of gambling addiction to amplify their stories, break down the stigma surrounding gambling disorder, raise awareness of support resources for individuals and their families, and show that recovery is possible.
“As someone who has personally navigated the challenges of gambling addiction, I understand the impact it can have on your life and the lives of those you care about,” Craig Carton said. “The road to recovery isn't easy, but I've committed myself to helping others who are facing similar struggles. My mission for this show is to inspire hope, offer support, and remind everyone that the path to regaining control starts with understanding.”
The first episode features former 11-year NBA veteran and recovered problem gambler Randy Livingston in addition to Randy's wife, Anita Ondine Smith
Randy and Anita recently joined FanDuel as responsible gaming ambassadors launching “Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting,” a new resource hub designed to equip parents, guardians and coaches, with tools and resources to talk to young people about the risks associated with gambling and where to go for support.
In addition to highlighting the lived experiences and recovery of those who have dealt with gambling disorder, The Comeback will dive into important topics such as money management, support services, self-exclusion, RG tools and more.
New episodes of The Comeback With Craig Carton will air monthly on Mondays at 10:00 am ET on FanDuel's FAST channel FanDuel TV Extra and stream on FanDuel's YouTube channel.
