Fanatics Sportsbook fined $20,000 over marketing to self-excluded gambler in Colorado
Fine or penalty
Fanatics Sportsbook agreed to pay a $20,000 fine after Colorado regulators found that it continued contacting a gambler who had placed himself on the state's self-exclusion list. The fine was levied during the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission's monthly meeting after the sportsbook and regulators reached an agreement. Fanatics also agreed to audit its self-exclusion list for other people who were sent marketing promotions by text between January 1, 2024, and March 1, 2026, and to train its VIP liaison staff on the state's self-exclusion rules.
