According to files 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 game had actually currently concluded with a UNC triumph.

Kambi told the enforcement department that a trader had failed to manually remove that video game from its sports betting markets, stating it had stopped getting messages from its own sports betting data supplier due to a network connection error. Kambi said it has upgraded its guidelines and retrained its traders to avoid a recurrence.

Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not right away respond to a message looking for comment Monday. Rush Street decreased comment, and DraftKings had no instant 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 outcomes were currently understood.

Kambi informed the division it experienced a connectivity issue that enabled the bets to be accepted after the video games were over. A description of what Kambi did to address the situation was blacked out in documents released by the department.

A month previously Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match odds on a Professional Golf Association match after the event had already started. In this case, Kambi told the department a freshly employed trader stopped working to go into the correct closing time time for bets on the occasion. The trader and a manager went through retraining.

DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved occasions consisting of Russian basketball for nine 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 told the division it misidentified this particular Russian basketball league as one that was approved for wagering in New Jersey. DraftKings told the state it did not capture the mistake, either.

In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi improperly allowed the events for wagering without conditions needed by the state, the department said.

In Feb. 2022, the department stated DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets including particular players but did not provide the state specific info on what details was to be consisted of in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth nearly $7,000 that were later voided and reimbursed to customers.
