According to files launched 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 already concluded with a UNC triumph.
the enforcement department that a trader had stopped working to manually eliminate that video game from its sports betting markets, stating it had actually stopped getting messages from its own sports betting data service provider due to a network connection mistake. Kambi said it has upgraded its standards and retrained its traders to prevent a recurrence.
Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not instantly 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.

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 informed the department a freshly hired trader stopped working to get in the appropriate closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a manager went through retraining.
DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved events consisting of Russian basketball for 9 months in 2020 and 2021. It eventually voided over $61,000 in bets and returned the money to consumers after being directed to do so by the state.
In this case, Kambi informed the department it misidentified this specific Russian basketball league as one that was authorized for sports betting in New Jersey. DraftKings informed 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 division said.
In Feb. 2022, the department said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets involving specific gamers but did not provide the state specific information on what information was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth almost $7,000 that were later on voided and refunded to customers.
