The second penalty involved betParx, where five employees without proper licenses were allowed to access personal identifying information tied to iGaming account holders. Wind Creek Bethlehem, LLC was fined $50,000 for failing to follow Know Your Customer procedures, which contributed to fraudulent withdrawals exceeding $92,000 from online gambling accounts. YFS Sub, LLC was fined $50,000 for failing to notify the state and obtain approval after a change in control involving its gaming license. Regulators also added eight people to involuntary exclusion lists, barring them from gambling at casinos, regulated online betting, and video gaming terminals.
"Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment received the largest combined penalties after regulators approved two separate $40,000 fines against the company. State officials said one case involved three incidents in which underage patrons gained access to casino gaming floors and were able to gamble on slot machines or table games. The second Greenwood penalty centered on the company's betParx online platform. According to the board, five employees who did not hold the proper licenses were allowed to access personal identifying information connected to iGaming account holders."
"Wind Creek Bethlehem, LLC was separately fined $50,000 after regulators said the casino operator failed to properly follow Know Your Customer procedures. The board said those shortcomings eventually contributed to fraudulent withdrawals exceeding $92,000 from online gambling accounts. Another $50,000 penalty was issued against YFS Sub, LLC, a subsidiary of Yahoo Fantasy Sports. Regulators said the company failed to notify the state and obtain approval related to a change in control involving its gaming license."
"The Gaming Control Board also voted to add eight more people to Pennsylvania's involuntary exclusion lists, continuing a wider enforcement trend the agency has stressed in recent months. Anyone placed on the lists is barred from gambling at the state's casinos, using regulated online betting sites or participating in gambling activities at video gaming terminal locations. State regulators have increasingly used the exclusion"
