In other company news, Fanatics was recently issued a $10,000 fine by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission for accepting a wager on a Boston College game. The regular determined during a recent meeting that the bet violated the state’s sports betting rules.
The commission said that the sportsbook self-reported the incident to the commission “within 24 hours.” Fanatics’ sportsbook also canceled the bet and returned the money to the customer.
However, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission found that accepting the bet on a December collegiate football game violated regulatory gaming rules and voted 4 to 0 to enforce the fine.
According to Massachusetts law, bet on in-state college teams are ‘strictly prohibits unless they are participating in a larger tournament, such as March Madness.’
