Burlington, Ia- Two sports betting companies have agreed to penalties from state regulators for violations involving self-ban gambling rules.
Racing and Gaming administrator, Brian Ohorilko, says Points Bet Iowa agreed to a penalty of five thousand dollars.
“The company is the partner for the Catfish Bend Casino in Burlington, and the company failed to update the self-ban list into their system within the required seven days,” Ohorilko said.
Betfred Sports handles the sports betting for the Grand Falls Casino in Larchwood and had the same violation. Ohorilko says the company is taking steps to avoid a repeat of the issue. He says it was an oversight, but the first offense for Betfred and they received an administrative penalty of five-thousand dollars.
The Racing and Gaming Commission approved the penalties at their recent meeting.
