NJ Regulator Takes Blame for FanDuel Error – And Warns Other Sportsbooks
- gojomo 8y agoIf user ~turtlecloud sees this – or anyone else knows them & can point them here – they should contact me with payment info (PayPal/Venmo/Bitcoin/etc), for the bet that I lost here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18036040 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18036040 This turned out quite differently than I predicted. I find it a bit odd, and interesting, how the regulator is both saying it's the regulator's fault, but then warning other sportsbooks to be ready to pay errors, but then also leaving open the possibility they might not enforce large-enough errors in the future. It looks like a subjective discretionary decision based on "what's good PR for NJ gambling", rather than any rigorous legal standards – and where I thought the precedent of not paying egregious errors would be more important than a small PR hit, in the new era of growing casual gambling, that doesn't appear to be the case.
