PrizePicks partners with Kindbridge Behavioral Health
The collaboration will focus on problem gaming prevention, treatment and recovery efforts.
PrizePicks has entered into a collaboration with Kindbridge Behavioral Health to provide clinical services at no initial cost to PrizePicks’ players and customer-facing employees.
The aim of this program will be to support problem gaming prevention, treatment and recovery efforts with the Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) operator incurring all initial costs of the support services.
Players and customer support employees will have immediate access to an in-depth clinical assessment, clinical review and care plan development session, as well as access to educational and peer support groups.
The program itself will be available in all 35 jurisdictions where PrizePicks operates DFS.
PrizePicks Co-Founder and CEO Adam Wexler said, “We are proud to partner with Kindbridge and to be the first operator to cover program costs entirely, removing a significant barrier to access.
“It’s essential that the fantasy sports industry invests and innovates in the area of responsible gaming. This initiative not only helps players and employees but also strengthens PrizePicks’ role in promoting social responsibility within the industry.
“By addressing both prevention and treatment, we are paving the way for a healthier gaming community.”
Kindbridge Behavioral Health Founder and CEO Daniel Umfleet commented, “It is inspiring to see a DFS operator actively providing essential care resources to their audience. Many individuals struggling with gaming-related health issues face significant financial barriers, even with insurance, which hinders their ability to follow a comprehensive care plan.
“This collaboration is a pivotal step toward eliminating these barriers, ensuring people can access the support they need, regardless of their financial situation.”
PrizePicks Senior Director of Responsible Gaming Phil Sherwood added, “Many individuals face high out-of-pocket expenses for healthcare even with insurance, making it difficult to get the help they need.
“Partnering with Kindbridge allows us to help those individuals who wish to take preventative measures with a variety of world-class mental health services at no cost to them.”
Back in March, DraftKings extended its relationship with Kindbridge Behavioral Health to provide access to therapy and treatment for problem gaming in every jurisdiction where DraftKings operates its sportsbook and iGaming products.
