In March 2022 Rush Street took 7 bets amounting to simply under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai games after the outcomes were already known.
Kambi told the division it experienced a connectivity problem that allowed the bets to be accepted after the games were over. A description of what Kambi did to address the circumstance was blacked out in files released by the division.

A month earlier Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match odds on a Professional Golf Association match after the occasion had currently started. In this case, Kambi informed the department a recently worked with trader stopped working to go into the proper closing time time for bets on the occasion. The trader and a supervisor underwent re-training.
DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved events including Russian basketball for nine months in 2020 and 2021. It ultimately voided over $61,000 in bets and returned the cash to clients after being directed to do so by the state.
In this case, Kambi informed the department it misidentified this particular Russian basketball league as one that was authorized for sports betting in New Jersey. DraftKings told the state it did not catch the error, either.
