FanDuel Inc. was sued by a former Jacksonville Jaguars executive who admitted to stealing more than $22 million from the team, but says the website knew he was an addicted gambler and offered him more than $1 million in credits and “lavish” gifts to make sure he continued to place bets.

Amit Patel, who is serving 6 1/2 years, filed a lawsuit claiming that FanDuel ignored its own responsible gambling and anti-money laundering protocols.
