Length: The article posted is of sufficient length. The article is around 1070 words, which is higher than the required 1000 Structure: Yes, the article does conform to the expected structure of a good Wikipedia article. The author writes a well formed introductory paragraph that establishes the basics of the topic and introduces the details of the topic to be further discussed later. The author then writes a brief paragraph on the background and history of the topic to ground the reader before diving into the ethics of the topic of PrizePicks. The author then moves into the body paragraphs that expand on the topics introduced at the beginning, including how PrizePicks works and the ethical concerns. Lastly, the author backs up his claims with reliable sources including ussportsbetting and PrizePicks website, all of which are properly cited both in the sources and throughout the article. Clarity: Yes, it is very clear that the primary ethical concern here is the fact that PrizePicks allows 18 year olds to gamble, when most other sites restrict it to 21 or older. Objective Reporting: Yes, the author reports the facts in the article very objectively, without any opinions or debatable claims. Most of the sentences in the article are simple factual statements about the workings of the site PrizePicks or the main points of ethical concern. When the author does discuss ethical concerns, which is a place that would be easy to bring in subjectivity, they make sure to back their claims up with examples and only state the ethical concerns held by a large number of individuals, so their own positions on the matter are never brought up.
