New Jersey gambling regulators fine Caesars Sportsbook for wrongly denying hockey payout
New Jersey gambling regulators fined Caesars Sportsbook $500 for wrongly refusing to pay out over $27,000 to a gambler who made winning bets on an international hockey game last year. The dispute involved whether goals scored in overtime should count in determining whether bets are winners or losers. Caeres Sports Book did not immediately respond to the request for comment. It's the same type of pitfall many soccer bettors may soon face during the World Cup tournament.
