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

In details revealed 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 technology company Kambi.

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

Kambi informed the enforcement division that a trader had actually stopped working to by hand get rid of that video game from its sports betting markets, stating it had actually stopped receiving messages from its own sports betting data supplier due to a network connectivity mistake. Kambi said it has upgraded its guidelines and retrained its traders to prevent a recurrence.

Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not right away react to a message looking for comment 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 totaling just under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai video games after the outcomes were already understood.

Kambi told the division it experienced a connection problem that enabled the bets to be accepted after the video games were over. A description of what Kambi did to attend to the situation was blacked out in files released by the department.

DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved occasions including Russian basketball for nine 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 authorized for sports betting 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 improperly allowed the occasions for wagering without conditions required by the state, the department said.

In Feb. 2022, the division said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets including particular gamers however did not offer the state specific details on what details was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth nearly $7,000 that were later on voided and reimbursed to clients.
