​FanDuel had “no right” to slap its logo on a Cameo video from Bryce Harper it sent a gambling addict in 2024, the MLB star said Monday.The Phillies first baseman said he did not know the video would be used as part of FanDuel’s VIP bettor program, and that he was unaware the man receiving the video—who has since sued the sportsbook—had a gambling problem at the time.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe comments, made on Harper’s Instagram account, represent his first public acknowledgment of the video, which went viral last week after it was published by The Inquirer. Harper’s side of the story lines up with much of what Front Office Sports reported on Friday: Sources told Front Office Sports he has no professional relationship with FanDuel, that the video was made on video-sharing platform Cameo, that he didn’t know it would be used as part of the VIP program, and that it was purchased as a personal video with no commercial use rights, as opposed to a business video, which costs more money and comes with commercial use rights.“I joined Cameo to engage with fans through paid personalized videos,” Harper wrote on his Instagram story. “What happened here went beyond anything I knew about or approved.”According to Harper, in November 2024 he received an order from someone who identified themselves only by their first name for a “holiday video for Terry.”“Cameo had a separate category for business video requests, and at the time I did not know this video would be used for commercial purposes,” Harper wrote.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn the video, Harper tells a man named Terry that his VIP host “from FanDuel wanted to make sure your Thanksgiving was extra special. So I just wanted to hop on here and wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.”Other than the reference to a FanDuel VIP host, Harper does not mention betting in the 21-second video, the bottom of which features the FanDuel logo.On Monday, Harper noted in his post that the order included a “short script” that he “read in good faith.” He included a screenshot showing the script he was provided, which includes a reference to the fact that the message was requested by a host from FanDuel.“FanDuel then put its own logo on the video and used it as a gambling promotion,” Harper wrote. “I did not know FanDuel would do this, I did not consent to it, and FanDuel had no right to do it.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementA representative for Harper did not respond to a request for comment on the fact that Harper knowingly referenced FanDuel in the video but claims he didn’t know it would be used for anything tied to FanDuel.A representative for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board told ESPN Friday that the organization is looking into the Harper video.The recipient of the video is Terry Thompson. In March, he and another plaintiff named Christopher Sage sued FanDuel, DraftKings, BetFair, and others, claiming they know
