(The Center Square) – 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.
