So you're going up against Draftkings and Fanduel, right. And they've both been oversaturating the airwaves for a couple years now. Plus you've got these other jokers like Fox Bet and some legacy names like MGM throwing their hat in the ring. You know you need something big. Something great if you want to stand out. So you look your brief in the eyeballs and say to yourself: "Ben Affleck!" Scientifically speaking, of course, how much crack does one have to smoke before reaching this level of utter marketing brilliance?

Lol thanks, bud. Love you too.
Also have to question the ethics of using someone who has a gambling addiction … 😬
No not a gambling addiction but he was banned for life from the hard rock casino for fraud and suspected card counting.
Not to mention he is an actively and not very successfully recovering alcoholic, and was banned from the Hard Rock casino FOR LIFE for fraud and card counting back in 2015 or 2014. I’m not making light of alcoholism, it is a disease, or any addiction like gambling, but not exactly the best guy for a “vice brand” I don’t think.🙄
it seems that casino operators just like to throw money around celebrities. i once saw a 20 minute commercial starring di caprio de niro and scorcese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_KSYIZ61q0
when it's overseas/not US, even the biggest stars will take the money and run.
Shaq only appears for brands he has ownership in. He is a part owner of WynBet.
