A New York Times investigation found that DraftKings Inc. built a machine-learning model that scored customers by how much they would lose for each free bet or bonus they received. The model raised concerns that the company was targeting problem gamblers, with a data analyst saying "the best investment would be a problem gambler" due to financial logic.
