Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Issues Fines to Two Operators
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has taken action against two gaming operators for violating state gaming regulations. In a recent announcement, the PGCB revealed that it has issued fines totaling $100,000.
Betfair Interactive US LLC, operating as FanDuel, received a fine of $40,000 due to failure to properly license several of its staff members. On the other hand, Sugarhouse HSP Gaming LP, operating Rivers Philadelphia Casino, was fined $30,000 for allowing individuals under the age of 21 onto the gaming floor and permitting them to place wagers.
According to the PGCB, these actions are in line with Pennsylvania state gaming regulations. It is important to note that no specific individuals from Sugarhouse HSP Gaming LP were listed as being placed on exclusion lists. Similarly, no additional operators, apart from Betfair Interactive US LLC (FanDuel) and Sugarhouse HSP Gaming LP, have been identified as receiving fines.
The PGCB's actions extend beyond issuing fines, as they have also taken steps to protect the integrity of gaming in Pennsylvania by placing individuals on exclusion lists. However, no details about underage gambling violations for the unidentified operator have been provided in the text.
It is worth mentioning that a search of recent records did not reveal any fines or regulatory violations by Betfair Interactive US LLC or Sugarhouse HSP Gaming LP in Pennsylvania. The results included information on fines for other gambling operators like DraftKings in various states and regulatory actions against influencers in other countries, but did not mention Pennsylvania commercial casinos or the two entities in question.
The total fine amount is $70,000 for Betfair Interactive US LLC and $30,000 for Sugarhouse HSP Gaming LP, bringing the total fines issued by the PGCB to $100,000.
