William Hill US requests change in regulations

The company is asking the Nevada regulator for a change in regulations in order to undo technical errors.

US.- William Hill US has sent a letter to the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) asking for a change in current regulations so the authority can undo technical errors. The request comes a few weeks after FanDuel paid out on an erroneous ticket that made someone win US$82k in New Jersey.

The company urged a revision that allows the Chair to use discretion in rescinding bets where an obvious error had occurred, such as erroneous pricing. “This would address the situation that occurred recently in New Jersey where an operator issued a wager on a football game at a price that was obviously incorrect,” reads the letter.

Sylvia Tiscareno, general counsel of William Hill, testified during NGCB’s meeting this week and said that the request comes after several internal discussions. The panel at the meeting decided to consider the testimony before making a decision.
