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 game had already concluded with a UNC success.

Kambi told the enforcement division that a trader had actually stopped working to by hand get rid of that game from its wagering markets, saying it had stopped getting messages from its own sports betting information service provider due to a network connection error. Kambi said it has updated its guidelines and retrained its traders to avoid a reoccurrence.

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

Kambi informed the division it experienced a connectivity concern that allowed the bets to be accepted after the games were over. A description of what Kambi did to attend to the scenario was blacked out in files released by the division.

In this case, Kambi told the department a freshly hired trader stopped working to enter the proper closing time time for bets on the occasion. The trader and a supervisor underwent re-training.

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