FanDuel has named CraigCartonLive its first national responsible gaming ambassador. 'I am going to be the face and voice of responsible gambling because it needs somebody,' he said.
March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month and the effort to get the message across comes at a time when people are filling out brackets for March Madness and more states are legalizing sports betting.
One of the first stops in Carton’s radio career was at Philadelphia’s WIP-AM, where he was nicknamed “The Kid.” A decade later, The Kid became king at WFAN in New York as co-host of themorning show. Carton and former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason talked their way to the top of the radio rankings from 2007 to 2017.
When it’s viewed as a seedy, back-alley vice that no one wants to admit they partake in, it makes it incredibly hard for an addict or compulsive gambler to come out and ask for help.“If I ever got back on the radio or TV I would own it and tell my story and their story and try to humanize the addiction,” Carton said. “It’s what I’ll do for the rest of my life because it’s so important.
“Who wants to relive the worst moments of their life over and over again in a public forum?” Carton said. “Every day I talk about gambling, I’m reliving the worst aspects of my life. Most people, they conquer something like that, they want to put it in the rear view. For anyone who thinks I’m doing it for the money, it ain’t that much money.”
