One of the highlights of last week's National Council on Problem Gambling Conference was seeing the incredible recognition the Fan Mode campaign has received.

At Collectors MD, we're proud supporters of this initiative because it reinforces a message that extends far beyond sports betting: it's okay to simply be a fan.

In today's world, so many experiences have become monetized. Whether it's sports, collecting, fantasy contests, prediction markets, or other forms of entertainment, we're increasingly encouraged to have something at stake. But the reality is that fandom itself can be exciting, meaningful, and deeply rewarding without needing to place a wager.

You don't need money on the game to enjoy the game. That message aligns closely with everything we strive to promote through #RipResponsibly. Collecting doesn't have to become a financial competition. Sports don't have to become a betting opportunity. Sometimes, the healthiest and most fulfilling experience comes from simply appreciating what drew us there in the first place.

Congratulations to Jamie Glick, Chigbo Nzoiwu, and the entire team at the Problem Gambling Coalition of Colorado who helped bring the Fan Mode campaign to life. It's an important reminder that enjoyment doesn't have to come with financial risk, and we're grateful to support a movement that encourages people to reconnect with the simple joy of being a fan.

Proud to be repping my Fan Mode hat, and even prouder to stand behind the message it represents. 💙
