Arkose Labs CEO Kevin Gosschalk joined KTVU FOX 2 San Francisco on September 4, 2026, to discuss online sports betting scams as the NFL season got underway, walking viewers through the 3 tactics doing the most damage: fake betting sites and apps baited with promotional offers that are too good to be true, phishing texts and emails impersonating legitimate sportsbooks, and account takeover that lets fraudsters place bets using saved payment details. His fastest check is that every legitimate US sportsbook is licensed state by state and can be verified on state gaming commission websites, and he cautioned viewers against reaching a betting app through a text link or a search ad rather than the official app store.
