DraftKings and Barstool Sportsbook will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines after reaching settlements with Ohio Casino Control Commission on Wednesday.
Barstool Sportsbook will pay $250,000 because of a live event held outside the University of Toledo’s football stadium. Regulators say the company broke two rules; advertising on or near a college campus and targeting customers who are under 21. You must be 21 or older to gamble in Ohio.
Penn Entertainment owns the Barstool Sportsbook brand and the Hollywood Casinos in Columbus and Toledo. Chief Compliance Officer Chris Soriano said the company recognizes that its broke Ohio’s rules.
“In this matter we fell short of the mark,” Soriano said during Wednesday’s meeting.
