PRESS RELEASE

HARRISBURG, PA: The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (“Board”) approved two consent agreements today presented by its Office of Enforcement Counsel (“OEC”) resulting in total fines of $70,000.

The fines were levied against:

• Betfair Interactive US LLC, d/b/a Fanduel, a $40,000 fine for its failure to license several employees; and,

• Sugarhouse HSP Gaming LP, operator of Rivers Philadelphia Casino, a $30,000 fine for 2 instances of allowing persons under the legal gaming age of 21 to access the gaming floor and gamble.

Copies of any of the approved Consent Agreements containing additional details are available upon request through the Board’s Office of Communications.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (“PGCB”) today took actions to place 7 individuals on its various Involuntary Exclusion Lists. Placement on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits individuals from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or a Video Gaming Terminal (“VGT”) location. 

These matters, presented by the Board’s Office of Chief Counsel and Office of Enforcement Counsel, raise the number of individuals now on the Board’s various Involuntary Exclusion Lists to 1,411.

The actions by the Board today include placement of 5 individuals on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List, including a female patron who left two minors ages 8 and 9 in a hotel room at Hollywood Casino at the Meadows for 7 hours and 41 minutes in order to gamble at table games.

Actions such as these to deny statewide gambling privileges serve as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended in the parking lot or garage, a hotel, or other venues at a casino since it creates a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment for the children. To complement the efforts by casinos to mitigate this issue, the Board created an awareness campaign, “Don’t Gamble with Kids”.

Additionally, 2 others were placed on the Board’s Involuntary Interactive Gaming Exclusion list for fraudulent actions involving online gambling.

The Gaming Control Board is scheduled to meet next at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 20, 2025 in the Board’s Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of the Strawberry Square Complex in Harrisburg. More information, including the agenda, will be posted on the Board’s website prior to the meeting.
