DraftKings CEO Jason Robins said parents should talk to their kids about gambling addiction and that he's tackled the subject with his own children.

"Every parent, even if you don't have a business or don't live in a world where the kids grow up around it, I think it's something every parent should have conversations with their kids about," Robins said in an interview with CNBC's Contessa Brewer.

Robins said his children have grown up around the gambling industry and even understand some of the terminology around sports betting.

"They know what point spreads and money lines are," he said. "They always ask me, 'Dad, do you know where the money is on for DraftKings today,' so they know who to root for, which I find funny."

Robins said he taught them at a young age how DraftKings works, but that they will have to wait until they are 21 years old to participate themselves.

Robins said he tries to keep communication open with his children about gambling and other subjects.…
