Atlantic City Casinos and Racing Track Forfeit Over $77,000 from Underage and Prohibited Gamblers
Funds to be Used for Compulsive Gambling Treatment and Programs Benefiting Seniors and Disabled
- Five Atlantic City casinos and a horse racing track are forfeiting over $77,000 won by underage gamblers or those who had placed themselves on a list to be excluded from gambling activities.
- New Jersey gambling regulators also fined DraftKings $7,500 and online gambling company Rush Street Interactive $2,000 for similar violations.
- The forfeited money will be used for programs to treat compulsive gambling, as well as on programs benefiting senior citizens and those with disabilities.
- The largest forfeitures came from Resorts, which turned over more than $51,000 for incidents dating back as far as 2020.
- The forfeitures and fines represent a tiny portion of the gambling activity conducted by Atlantic City's nine casinos and the three horse racing tracks in New Jersey that accept sports bets, which have won more than $4.2 billion from gamblers through the first nine months of this year.
