Regulatory body in Nevada contemplating a $100,000 penalty against William Hill
Caesars Entertainment's William Hill Sportsbook Faces $100,000 Fine
The Caesars Entertainment Inc.-owned William Hill sportsbook in Nevada is facing a potential fine of $100,000, as the Nevada Gaming Commission considers the penalty on Thursday. The fine is in response to a four-count complaint filed by the Nevada Gaming Control Board in August.
The complaint alleges that the sportsbook violated gaming regulations due to a system failure affecting more than 50,000 bettors since 2015. The issue was with the CBS Race and Sports Book mobile wagering system, which produced duplicate wagers on some sports bets.
The sportsbook failed to report these duplicate wagers to regulators when bettors complained in June 2021. The violation was not promptly resolved by William Hill, leading to the filing of the complaint.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board, a regulatory body in Nevada, accused William Hill of the violations. However, the president of the Board who filed the charges against William Hill in August 2021 is not explicitly named in the available search results.
The sportsbook in question is located in Nevada and has been owned by Caesars Entertainment Inc. since the acquisition of William Hill in 2021. This is not the first time the sportsbook has faced regulatory issues; in 2020, it was fined $3 million for failing to prevent underage gambling.
The fine is being considered by the Nevada Gaming Commission on Thursday. If approved, it will mark another regulatory hurdle for the sportsbook to overcome. The sportsbook has yet to comment on the matter.
