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

Kambi informed the enforcement division that a trader had actually failed to manually eliminate that video game from its sports betting markets, saying it had actually stopped getting messages from its own sports betting data company due to a network connectivity error. Kambi said it has upgraded its standards 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 remark, and DraftKings had no immediate remark Monday. DraftKings stopped using Kambi in 2021.

In March 2022 Rush Street took 7 bets totaling simply under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai video games after the outcomes were already understood.

Kambi told the division it experienced a connectivity problem that allowed the bets to be accepted after the video games were over. A description of what Kambi did to attend to the circumstance 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 an Expert Golf Association match after the occasion had already started. In this case, Kambi told the department a freshly hired trader failed to get in the appropriate closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a supervisor went through retraining.

DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved events consisting of Russian basketball for nine 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 told the division it misidentified this specific Russian basketball league as one that was for sports betting in New Jersey. DraftKings informed the state it did not capture the mistake, either.

In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi incorrectly made it possible for the events for wagering without conditions needed by the state, the department stated.

In Feb. 2022, the division stated DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets involving specific gamers but did not offer the state specific information on what details was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth almost $7,000 that were later on voided and refunded to customers.
