DraftKings, Barstool Agree to Hefty Fines for Ohio Sports Betting Violations

Two sports betting operators agreed Wednesday to pay a combined $750K to the Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) after admitting to rules violations related to promoting their online sportsbooks.

The fines levied against DraftKings and Penn Sports Interactive were approved during the OCCC’s monthly meeting in Columbus.

The two operators were among four cited by the commission in December and early January, with DraftKings, cited for violations twice in that span. In addition to the monetary fines, the companies agreed to take other remedial measures to prevent their issues from reoccurring.
