Bryce Harper Says FanDuel Used His Cameo Video as VIP Reward without Consent in a Gambler’s Case

Harper said he made the Cameo video but did not know FanDuel would use it as a promotion for a VIP bettor later diagnosed with addiction.

  • On Monday, July 13, 2026, Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper denied knowing a Cameo video he recorded would be used by FanDuel for a VIP promotion, refuting suggestions he knowingly engaged with a problem gambler.
  • Last week, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that FanDuel sent a personalized video of Harper to Terry Thompson, a bettor now suing the sportsbook for allegedly encouraging his gambling addiction and financial losses.
  • Harper stated he received a request for a "holiday video for Terry" through Cameo, unaware it involved FanDuel, which later superimposed its logo on the footage and used it as a gambling promotion.
  • The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board announced on Friday it is reviewing the matter, while FanDuel stated it remains "committed to fostering a culture of responsible gaming" and strengthening consumer protections.
  • As Thompson's lawsuit against FanDuel evolves, Harper indicated he would not provide further commentary, stating, "Counsel has directed me not to comment any further at this time.
