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

Kambi told the enforcement division that a trader had stopped working to manually remove that game from its wagering markets, stating it had actually stopped receiving messages from its own sports betting information service provider due to a network connection error. Kambi stated it has upgraded its guidelines and re-trained its traders to prevent a reoccurrence.

Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not right away react to a message looking for 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 totaling simply under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai video games after the results were currently known.

Kambi told the division it experienced a connection concern that allowed the bets to be accepted after the video games were over. A description of what Kambi did to address the scenario was blacked out in files released 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 already begun. In this case, Kambi told the division a freshly worked with trader failed to get in the appropriate closing time time for bets on the occasion. The trader and a manager went through re-training.

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

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

In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi improperly enabled the events for sports betting without conditions needed by the state, the department stated.

In Feb. 2022, the division stated DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets including specific players but did not provide the state specific info on what information was to be consisted of in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth almost $7,000 that were later voided and refunded to consumers.
