ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Five Atlantic City casinos and a horse racing track are forfeiting over $77,000 worth of money 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 for similar violations, and Rush Street Interactive $2,000 for taking bets on unapproved events and taking pre-match bets on games that had already begun. The forfeited money will go to the state to be used for programs to treat compulsive gambling, as well as on programs benefiting senior citizens and those with disabilities.
