DraftKings continues to allow customers to fund some online sports betting accounts with funds that originated from credit card deposits in other states, Massachusetts Gaming Commission staff revealed Wednesday.

The news came at what should have been the start of an adjudicatory hearing on the issue, but commissioners decided to delay the hearing until the Investigations Enforcement Bureau (IEB) could complete a look into the latest transgressions.

The issue first came to light last May, when the IEB was alerted that DraftKings, which is based in Boston, had allowed Massachusetts accounts to be funded with credit card deposits made outside of the state beginning the first day online betting was allowed.
