In my opinion, Berkey advertising DraftKings' "online casino" isn't as bad as Landon advertising the Ignition slots because unregulated casinos are 10000x worse than regulated ones. At least regulated ones (probably) won't straight up cheat you. Unregulated ones do whatever the fuck they want, with zero consequence, and zero transparency.
I also approached Berkey privately when Ignition wouldn't pay that girl Mandi (the one I had on my show recently), and told him that this would look bad for Landon, even though it wasn't directly his fault. In fact, she was playing the exact slots he advertised! To Berkey's credit, he told me that he would discuss the whole thing on his show "in the next few days" if it didn't get resolved. This never came to pass because Ignition abruptly paid her after my tweet about it went viral, and got 300k+ views in 1 day.
I do agree that Berkey should re-think his choices here, though. While DraftKings is regulated, it's not a good idea to push -EV casino games onto his audience, since Matt runs a coaching service and he's trying to teach you how to not lose money gambling. So as Jeff said, this runs counter to that mission.
