New Jersey gambling regulators have levied a $33,000 fine on sports betting company bet365 for taking wagers on events in which the outcome was already known, and on games that were not approved for betting.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement revealed Wednesday that the company had numerous instances in which it mistakenly accepted bets on games in which a particular thing had already happened.
In one case, it took bets on a mixed martial arts match that had already been held a week earlier, and was being shown on tape.
The company did not respond to messages seeking comment Thursday and Friday.
Boeing’s beleaguered space capsule is heading back to Earth without two NASA astronauts
After months of turmoil over its safety, Boeing’s new astronaut capsule is set to depart the International Space Station on Friday without its crew.
NASA’s two test pilots will stay behind at the space station — their home until next year — as the Starliner capsule prepares to undock and aims for a touchdown six hours later in the New Mexico desert.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams should have flown Starliner back to Earth in June, a week after launching in it. But thruster failures and helium leaks marred their ride to the space station.
NASA ultimately decided it was too risky to return Wilmore and Williams on Starliner. So the capsule contains their empty seats and blue spacesuits along with some old station equipment. SpaceX will bring the duo back in late February, stretching their original eight-day mission to more than eight months.
