Penn National paid a $10,000 settlement in Indiana over a “questionable” TikTok video about gambling losses posted by Barstool Sports.
Per an Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC) notice last week, Penn self-reported the video in question back in March. The Commission said the video in question breached its marketing regulations, specifically around “false and misleading advertising.”
According to the IGC: “A junior member of Barstool’s social media team posted a questionable video discussing gambling losses with a 12-second duration on a Barstool-owned and controlled TikTok account.”
The video was live for 12 hours and deleted as soon as Barstool’s social media manager became aware of it.
