ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey sports betting have handed out $40,000 in fines to 2 sportsbooks and a tech business for violations that consisted of taking bets on unapproved events, and on games that had currently ended.
In information revealed Monday, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined DraftKings $20,000. It likewise imposed $10,000 fines on Rush Street Interactive NJ and the sports betting innovation business Kambi.
According to documents released by the state, Rush Street accepted 16 bets worth $1,523 in Nov. 2021 on a college basketball game between the University of North Carolina-Asheville and Tennessee Tech University after the video game had actually already concluded with a UNC triumph.
Kambi told the enforcement department that a trader had failed to by hand get rid of that video game from its sports betting markets, saying it had stopped getting messages from its own sports betting data service provider due to a network connectivity error. Kambi said it has upgraded its guidelines and re-trained its traders to avoid a reoccurrence.

Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not immediately react to a message seeking remark Monday. Rush Street declined comment, and DraftKings had no immediate comment Monday. DraftKings stopped using Kambi in 2021.
In March 2022 Rush Street took seven bets amounting to just under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai video games after the results were already known.

Kambi told the department it experienced a connectivity concern that allowed the bets to be accepted after the video games were over. An explanation of what Kambi did to deal with the situation was blacked out in documents launched by the division.

A month previously Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match chances on an Expert Golf Association match after the event had already started. In this case, Kambi informed the department a recently worked with trader failed to go into the right closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a manager underwent re-training.
DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved occasions including Russian basketball for nine months in 2020 and 2021. It eventually 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 department it misidentified this specific Russian basketball league as one that was approved for wagering in New Jersey. DraftKings informed the state it did not catch the mistake, either.
