ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey gambling regulators have actually given out $40,000 in fines to 2 sportsbooks and a tech company for infractions that consisted of taking bets on unauthorized events, and on games that had already ended.

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

Kambi told the enforcement division that a trader had actually stopped working to manually eliminate that video game from its wagering markets, stating it had stopped receiving messages from its own sports betting information supplier due to a network connectivity mistake. Kambi said it has updated its guidelines and re-trained its traders to prevent a recurrence.

Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not right away respond to a message seeking comment Monday. Rush Street decreased remark, and DraftKings had no immediate remark Monday. DraftKings stopped using Kambi in 2021.

In March 2022 Rush Street took 7 bets amounting to just under $2,900 on 3 Magic City Jai Alai video games after the results were already known.

DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved occasions including Russian basketball for 9 months in 2020 and 2021. It eventually voided over $61,000 in bets and returned the cash to consumers after being directed to do so by the state.

In this case, Kambi informed the department it misidentified this particular Russian basketball league as one that was authorized for sports betting in New Jersey. DraftKings informed the state it did not catch the error, either.

In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi incorrectly made it possible for the occasions for sports betting without conditions required by the state, the division stated.

In Feb. 2022, the division said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets involving specific gamers but did not offer 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 clients.
