ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey gambling regulators have handed out $40,000 in fines to two sportsbooks and a tech company for violations that included taking bets on unauthorized events, and on games that had already ended. In information made public Monday, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined DraftKings $20,000. It also levied $10,000 fines on Rush Street Interactive NJ and the sports betting technology company Kambi. According to documents released by the state, Rush Street accepted 16 bets worth $1,523 in Nov. 2021 on a college basketball game between the University of North Carolina-Asheville and Tennessee Tech University after the game had already concluded with a UNC victory. Kambi told the enforcement division that a trader had failed to manually remove that game from its betting markets, saying it had stopped receiving messages from its own sports data provider due to a network connectivity error. Kambi said it has updated its guidelines and retrained its traders to prevent a recurrence. Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Monday. Rush Street declined comment, and DraftKings had no immediate comment Monday. DraftKings stopped using Kambi in 2021. In March 2022 Rush Street took seven bets totaling just under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai games after the results were already known. Kambi told the division it experienced a connectivity issue that allowed the bets to be accepted after the games were over. An explanation of what Kambi did to address the situation was blacked out in documents released by the division. A month earlier Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match odds on a Professional Golf Association match after the event had already begun. In this case, Kambi told the division a newly hired trader failed to enter the correct closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a supervisor underwent retraining. DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved events including Russian basketball for nine months in 2020 and 2021. It eventually voided over $61,000 in bets and returned the money to customers after being directed to do so by the state. In this case, Kambi told the division it misidentified this particular Russian basketball league as one that was approved for wagering in New Jersey. DraftKings told the state it did not catch the error, either. In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi incorrectly enabled the events for wagering without conditions required by the state, the division said. In Feb. 2022, the division said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets involving specific players but did not give the state specific information on what information was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth nearly $7,000 that were later voided and refunded to customers.

The results came as a significant blow to the opposition I.N.D.I.Alliance, which had previously held three of these seats. The bypolls were held on November 13 for the Assembly constituencies of Tarari, Ramgarh, Belaganj, and Imamganj, with a voter turnout of 52.84 per cent. These elections were closely watched as they tested the strength of the NDA and the I.N.D.I.A bloc in a politically charged state. Ramgarh Assembly Seat Ramgarh saw a three-way contest between the BJP’s Ashok Kumar Singh, RJD’s Ajit Kumar Singh, and BSP’s Satish Kumar Singh Yadav. BJP’s Singh secured a narrow victory with a margin of 1,362 votes over BSP’s Yadav, reclaiming a seat that had fallen out of the party’s grasp since 2015. This result came as a setback for the RJD, as Ajit Kumar Singh, son of state RJD chief Jagadanand Singh, failed to retain the seat vacated by his brother Sudhakar Singh after his Lok Sabha election from Buxar. Ramgarh recorded a voter turnout of 54.02%. Belaganj Assembly Seat The JD(U), a key NDA ally, secured a decisive victory in Belaganj, with Manorama Devi defeating RJD candidate Vishwanath Kumar Singh by a margin of 21,391 votes. Devi’s win further solidified the NDA’s dominance, as the seat had the highest number of candidates in the bypolls, with 14 contenders. The bypoll was necessitated by the election of Surendra Prasad Yadav, Vishwanath’s father, to the Lok Sabha from Jehanabad. Belaganj recorded the highest voter turnout among the four constituencies, at 56.21%. Tarari Assembly Seat In Tarari, the BJP’s Vishal Prashant emerged victorious against CPI(ML)’s Raju Yadav, securing a win by a margin of 10,612 votes. Prashant garnered 78,755 votes, while Yadav received 68,143. Prashant, son of former MLA Sunil Pandey, brought the seat into the NDA fold after two consecutive wins by CPI(ML) leader Sudama Prasad, now an MP from Arrah. Prashant’s victory signifies a reversal of fortunes for the BJP in a constituency known for its Left-leaning politics. The seat recorded a voter turnout of 50.10%. Jan Suraaj, led by Prashant Kishor, fielded social activist Kiran Singh, but her campaign failed to make a significant impact. In Imamganj, the Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM), an NDA ally, retained the seat as Deepa Kumari defeated RJD’s Raushan Manjhi by 5,945 votes. The constituency, reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates, was previously held by HAM chief Jitan Ram Manjhi, whose election to the Lok Sabha had necessitated the bypoll. Deepa Kumari, daughter-in-law of Jitan Ram Manjhi, faced a tough battle but managed to secure victory for HAM. Other notable candidates included AIMIM’s Kanchan Paswan and Jan Suraaj’s Jitendra Paswan. Union Minister Giriraj Singh spoke on the performance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the upcoming results for the Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan and said on Saturday that the public in UP had given a wipe off to Lalu Prasad. Speaking to he said “We accept the results in Jharkhand. However, in Bihar and UP, the public has given a wipe-off to Lalu Prasad. Lalu ka thopda saaf kar diya hain... The opposition will say that EVMs are wrong when they are losing. We will wait for the final results to come... Congress Telangana mein jeet gayi toh balle balle, agar Maharashtra mein haar gayi toh EVM par sawaal..” The NDA’s clean sweep is a morale booster for the alliance ahead of the 2025 Assembly elections. With three of the four seats previously held by the opposition I.N.D.I.Alliance– two by the RJD and one by CPI(ML) – the results underscore the shifting political dynamics in Bihar. For the RJD, the loss of seats such as Ramgarh and Belaganj, despite strong family connections, highlights the challenges the party faces in consolidating its base. The CPI(ML)’s loss in Tarari, a traditional Left stronghold, adds to the opposition’s woes.jilibay vom
