The Tennessee Education Lottery said Wednesday that two of the state’s four regulated online sportsbooks saw “illegal” betting activity on the most recently completed Super Bowl.
At a meeting of its board of directors, the lottery said that there were “significant anomalies” with two operators. It didn’t say which books.
As a result of the activity, 74 sports wagering accounts between the two platforms were permanently closed. “Several” open Super Bowl bets were voided. The lottery said that it wouldn’t provide any more information at this time as the investigation continues.
The lottery said that it ended up declining operator requests to offer non-football props on the big game, such as the color of the Gatorade, which some other sports betting states in the U.S. allowed. The lottery didn’t provide any information on what kind of bets were suspicious.
