Three Tennessee sports wagering operators were fined at the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council’s July meeting with BetMGM, Penn (ESPN Bet) and Action 24/7 receiving fines for violating rules.

BetMGM was fined $25,000 for permitting wagers to be placed on penalties in a contest, which is against Tennessee rules.

Action 24/7 was fined $18,000 for allowing self-excluded bettors to deposit and wager.

Fanatics Sportsbook was recently fined $50,000 after it allowed eight people who were on an in-app self-exclusion list to place bets during that exclusion.

Penn, which operates ESPN Bet, was fined $9,000 for failing to self-exclude a bettor and $3,000 for sending marketing messages to self-excluded bettors.
