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.

Penn Sports Interactive, which operates as Barstool Sportsbook, was cited in December after Barstool Sports promoted the sports betting app during a college football show held in November at the University of Toledo.

Penn owns a minority stake in the sports media company and is in the process of making it a wholly-owned subsidiary. Ohio sports betting regulations bar sportsbooks from promotions on college campuses.

Chris Soriano, chief compliance officer for Penn Entertainment, told the commissioners that the company, which also operates two casinos and two video lottery racinos in the state, prides itself on playing by the rules.

“In this matter, we fell short of the mark,” he said. “We accept responsibility for that by reading the advertisement during the Barstool College Football Show.”

Barstool agreed to pay a $250K fine and take 메이저토토사이트 other actions.
