Massachusetts Gaming Commission members voiced frustrations Monday about a DraftKings betting catalog violation.
The mobile sports betting operator accepted unauthorized wagers on UTR Pro Tennis matches in March, and DraftKings self-reported the violations to the MGC. The MGC did not issue any penalty Monday, but the body does plan to hold a hearing involving the sportsbook operator in the future to learn more about what led to the violations.
Commissioners were frustrated by the violation and surprised to hear DraftKings handled betting on a market that had not been approved by the MGC.
The MGC reported that DraftKings allowed wagering in Massachusetts from March 10-22 on UTR Pro Tennis — a secondary pro circuit created by Universal Tennis — despite the operator not checking for approval to accept betting on that league.
