Appears straightforward, no?<\/p>\n<p>However, the issue arises because such commission-driven agreements are strictly forbidden under Illinois gaming regulations. And the sums involved are far from insignificant &#8211; Accel purportedly disbursed a staggering $2.1 million in these commissions. To provide context, they manage nearly one-third of all gaming terminals within the entire state!<\/p>\n<p>The arrangement entailed Accel displaying DraftKings advertisements on their machines. In exchange, they would receive a tidy $200 for every new user they directed to the DraftKings platform. Furthermore, to enhance the appeal, Accel was permitted to distribute these earnings with the establishments hosting their machines.<\/p>\n<p>The Gaming Commission is taking a firm stance on this matter. They have formally accused Accel, alleging that these payments constituted a blatant effort to entice customers through covert agreements.<\/p>\n<p>Accel, naturally, presents a different perspective. Their Chief Executive, Andrew Rubenstein, asserts that they will vigorously contest these allegations. He contends that both participating companies are publicly listed and possess a thorough understanding of the law, implying they would not jeopardize their position with such an arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>Accel&#8217;s legal representative, Donna More, reinforced this stance, emphasizing the company&#8217;s dedication to adhering to the regulations governing the gaming industry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Illinois Gaming Commission is seeking to impose a substantial $5 million penalty on Accel Entertainment.
