How Did Bryce Harper End Up Helping FanDuel Keep A Gambling Addict On The Hook?

Terry Thompson is part of a lawsuit against FanDuel and DraftKings claiming that the sports books used their VIP services and products to intentionally prey on his gambling addiction.

Thompson says he wagered $18.5 million with FanDuel and became addicted to gambling via the sports book's in-game micro bets.

His suit claims he was also encouraged to continue gambling by a FanDuel VIP manager named Bryttanni Morgan, who at one point sent Thompson a personalized video from Bryce Harper.

The 21-second video, https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/bryce-harper-fanduel-vip-video-gambling-addiction-20260709.html">obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer, features Harper speaking into his phone camera and wishing Thompson a happy Thanksgiving. "Your host Bryttanni, from FanDuel, wanted to make sure your Thanksgiving was extra special," Harper says in the video, which has a FanDuel logo superimposed over it.

This was just one of many gifts Thompson said he received from Morgan, who communicated with him frequently via text message and shared details from her personal life.

Morgan frequently provided Thompson with tickets to sporting events, including two Super Bowls.
