ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey sports betting regulators have distributed $40,000 in fines to 2 sportsbooks and a tech company for violations that included taking bets on unauthorized events, and on games that had already ended.

In details made public Monday, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined DraftKings $20,000. It also imposed $10,000 fines on Rush Street Interactive NJ and the sports betting wagering innovation company Kambi.

According to documents launched by the state, Rush Street accepted 16 bets worth $1,523 in Nov. 2021 on a college basketball video game between the University of North Carolina-Asheville and Tennessee Tech University after the game had currently concluded with a UNC triumph.

Kambi told the enforcement division that a trader had failed to by hand get rid of that video game from its sports betting markets, saying it had actually stopped getting messages from its own sports betting data company due to a network connectivity error. Kambi said it has actually upgraded its guidelines and retrained its traders to avoid a recurrence.

Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not instantly react to a message looking for comment Monday. Rush Street decreased comment, and DraftKings had no instant remark Monday. DraftKings stopped utilizing Kambi in 2021.

In March 2022 Rush Street took 7 bets totaling just under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai video games after the results were already understood.

Kambi informed the division it experienced a connectivity issue that permitted the bets to be accepted after the video games were over. A description of what Kambi did to resolve the scenario was blacked out in files launched by the division.

A month previously Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match chances on a Professional Golf Association match after the event had actually currently started. In this case, Kambi informed the department a newly worked with trader stopped working to get in the correct closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a supervisor went through re-training.

DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved events consisting of Russian basketball for 9 months in 2020 and 2021. It ultimately voided over $61,000 in bets and returned the cash to customers after being directed to do so by the state.

In this case, Kambi told the division it misidentified this specific Russian basketball league as one that was for wagering in New Jersey. DraftKings told the state it did not catch the error, either.

In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi incorrectly enabled the events for wagering without conditions needed by the state, the department said.

In Feb. 2022, the division said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets involving particular players but did not provide the state particular info on what details was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth almost $7,000 that were later voided and reimbursed to consumers.
