FanDuel faces $10,000 fine for violating betting rules
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission fined FanDuel $10,000 as a result of violating the state’s sports betting rules and allowing bets on local college teams.
Betting on Massachusetts’ local college teams is allowed only when they are part of a tournament with four or more teams. However, FanDuel mistakenly enabled betting on Boston College during the NCAA Tournament.
FanDuel self-reported the error, explaining it as an employee’s mistake. As a result, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission acknowledged the situation.
Nakisha Skinner, the MGC commissioner, said:
“Any recommendation from the IEB considers the severity of the circumstances, ensuring the penalty is proportionate to the actual circumstances of the non-compliance issue.”
By reporting the error, FanDuel highlighted its dedication to compliance and player protection. Moreover, the company also launched “Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting,” a resource to educate parents and educators about responsible gambling.

The case from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission is not the first legal action that FanDuel faces. Recently, a lawsuit filed in 2020, involving more than 100 plaintiffs, including FanDuel founders, early employees, and investors, was resumed by the New York Supreme Court after years of delays.
