ESPN’s fantasy basketball page now prominently displays an extensive set of legal notices, privacy statements and responsible-gaming resources.
The section outlines ESPN Enterprises, LLC copyright information effective through 2026 and specifies that all rights are reserved. It reiterates the company’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Children’s Online Privacy Policy and details about interest-based advertising and Nielsen measurement.
For users who may experience gambling problems, multiple hotline numbers are provided: 1-800-GAMBLER or 1-800-MY-RESET, (800) 327-5050, 877-8-HOPENY (text HOPENY 467369), 888-789-7777, and 1-800-981-0023 in Puerto Rico. Additional website resources include gamblinghelplinema.org for Massachusetts, ccpg.org for Connecticut and mdgamblinghelp.org for Maryland.
The notices state that users must be 21 or older in most U.S. states, with an 18-plus requirement in the District of Columbia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico and Wyoming. Operations are void in Ontario, Canada, and eligibility restrictions apply elsewhere.
ESPN also notes that certain wagers are offered on behalf of Boot Hill Casino in Kansas and that a pass-through per-wager tax may apply in Illinois. All terms direct users to draftkings.com/sportsbook for full details.
