D.C. Council Members Bash GambetDC Performance

Washington D.C. Council Member Kenyan McDuffie hosted a virtual roundtable discussion about sports wagering in the District Wednesday, and McDuffie and several others voiced concerns and criticism of D.C. Lottery-run sports wagering app GambetDC.'

The app has faced significant criticism since its launch, ranging from a clunky interface to subpar odds to withdrawal challenges. An iOS app outage on Super Bowl Sunday hurt the sports betting app's reputation even further, with a failure from mobile app provider Intralot causing the poorly timed mishap. GambetDC hasn't shined from a revenue perspective either, actually losing the District $4 million in 2021.'

“From the council's perspective, this can't continue,” McDuffie said.'
