The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has levied a $25,000 fine against Gaming Innovation group for a geolocation violation which allowed a gambler located outside of New Jersey to gamble on a state licensed site.

GIG has acknowledged the mistake and agreed to accept the fine.

The division said a complaint was filed in December and the fine was levied after an investigation. The division did not say which online platform allowed the error, but reports suggest it was connected to Hard Rock Atlantic City, which recently began taking online action.

New Jersey regulators have previously fined GAN in 2016 and PokerStars in 2017 for similar violations. Recently, they also fined Borgata and Caesars Interactive Entertainment New Jersey.
