Three more sportsbooks could face $150,000 fines after being accused of breaking advertising rules related to sports gambling.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission said it will take administrative action against BetMGM Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook. All three companies are accused of breaking two rules: not having a message about problem gambling, and advertising “free” or “risk-free” bets.
This comes after comments Tuesday from Gov. Mike DeWine, who said sports-betting companies are being “looked at very closely.”
“The sports gaming industry has received multiple reminders of the rules and standards for advertising and promotions, yet continues to disregard Ohio law,” said Matt Schuler, executive director of the Casino Control Commission.
