According to documents released 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 actually already concluded with a UNC victory.

Kambi informed the enforcement department that a trader had actually failed to manually eliminate that video game from its wagering markets, saying it had 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 re-trained its traders to prevent a recurrence.
Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not immediately react to a message seeking remark Monday. Rush Street decreased remark, and DraftKings had no instant remark Monday. DraftKings stopped using Kambi in 2021.

In March 2022 Rush Street took 7 bets totaling simply under $2,900 on 3 Magic City Jai Alai video games after the outcomes were already understood.

Kambi informed the division it experienced a connectivity problem that allowed the bets to be accepted after the games were over. A description of what Kambi did to deal with the situation was blacked out in documents launched by the department.
A month previously Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match chances on a Professional Golf Association match after the event had already started. In this case, Kambi informed the department a newly employed trader stopped working to enter the right closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a manager went through re-training.
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 cash to clients 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 approved for wagering in New Jersey. DraftKings informed the state it did not catch the error, either.

In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on tennis matches. Kambi incorrectly enabled the events for sports betting without conditions needed by the state, the division stated.
In Feb. 2022, the division said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets including specific gamers but did not offer the state particular information on what information was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth almost $7,000 that were later on voided and reimbursed to consumers.
