DraftKings entered into a consent agreement Thursday with the Maryland Lottery to pay a $94,400 fine.
The financial penalty comes after a recently conducted audit by the Maryland Lottery found that the mobile sportsbook operator sent sports betting marketing materials to people under the age of 21 in December. The materials were delivered to underage bettors who were fantasy sports customers.
You can play fantasy sports in Maryland when you turn 18, but you can’t bet on sports until you’re 21 — and it’s against Maryland law for sports betting operators to market to people under the age of 21.
