On March 20, 2026, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) approved a $5,000 fine against FanDuel for prohibited employee wagering. The decision results from an adjudicatory proceeding conducted by the MGC on April 9, 2025. According to the fine notice, between April 19 and April 21, 2024, a FanDuel employee placed 12 wagers on NBA games totaling $240. This violated state law and regulations (G.L. c. 23N, § 13(f) and 205 CMR 238.32(1)) that strictly prohibit employees from wagering on their employer's platform. Additional training and monitoring failures were cited, including an internal monitoring issue that prevented FanDuel's weekly reviews from detecting the wagers until after the employee's first 30 days of employment. The MGC noted that FanDuel self-reported the incident, cooperated with the investigation, and modified its controls to detect such activity faster in the future.
