William Hill fined over $31k for self-exclusion failings in New Jersey
Sci Games and PokerStars also given penalties for operating unapproved games and losing player data


In November the New Jersey DGE ordered William Hill to pay $31,500 for self-exclusion failings dating back to August.
The incident involved sixteen self-excluded players betting online and losing up to $5,005 between them.
The DGE ordered the operator to pay a $26,500 penalty for the issue and forfeit the $5,005 lost by the players.
Gaming Innovation Group-owned subsidiary iGaming Cloud was given a $7,000 fine for allowing self-excluded players to create online accounts and place bets in November.
A further $8,095 of owed player funds was forfeited by the regulator on behalf of Caesars and Bally’s casinos in Atlantic City.
Elsewhere, the regulator handed a $110,000 penalty to Scientific Games for operating unapproved game software, including Epic Monopoly II and 88 Fortunes.
The complaint said the supplier had deployed versions of these games that had not been tested and approved by the DGE.
PokerStars was ordered to pay a $5,000 penalty for losing two hours of poker hand data September.
The fault resulted in a reporting variance of $988.24
