DraftKings is the latest bookmaker to be thrown a brushback pitch over its marketing efforts by the regulator of legal sports betting in the Buckeye State.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) announced on Friday that it had hit DraftKings with a notice of violation in connection with an alleged breach of the state’s rules for advertising sports betting.
According to the OCCC, DraftKings mailed around 2,500 ads in November that were directly addressed to people under the age of 21, in violation of state law.
The regulator is requiring that the Boston-based operator of online sports betting sites implement new procedures to avoid any future mistakes.
