State regulators say the sportsbook failed to properly settle certain baseball parlay wagers.
Massachusetts regulators ordered DraftKings to pay $934,000 after determining the sportsbook mishandled MLB parlay bets, citing errors in how wagers were processed and settled.
Massachusetts gaming regulators have ordered DraftKings to pay approximately $934,000 after concluding that the sportsbook mishandled certain Major League Baseball parlay bets. The decision follows a state review of betting activity during the MLB season.
According to regulators, DraftKings failed to correctly apply rules governing parlay wagers that included baseball games, leading to incorrect outcomes for some bettors. State officials said the errors affected multiple wagers placed by customers.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission said the payment is intended to resolve the issue and ensure that impacted bettors are made whole. Regulators emphasized the importance of accurate wager settlement in the state’s legal sports betting market.
DraftKings acknowledged the ruling and said it cooperated with the investigation. The company said it has taken steps to correct internal systems and prevent similar issues in the future.
Sports betting operators are subject to strict oversight in Massachusetts, where regulators require platforms to maintain accurate betting rules, transparent settlement practices, and consumer protections.
The enforcement action highlights increased scrutiny of sportsbooks as legal betting expands across the United States. Regulators said they will continue monitoring compliance to protect bettors and market integrity.
