Evolution US received a $31,950 fine from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board yesterday. The supplier holds an Interactive Gaming Manufacturer license in the state.
The penalty stems from a consent agreement with the Office of Enforcement Counsel. Evolution US didn’t file a Principal Licence application on time for a board member who took on more responsibilities.
The same day, 15 people were added to Pennsylvania’s Involuntary Exclusion Lists. Four adults left minors alone while gambling at casino properties. The incidents happened at Parx Casino, Presque Isle Downs & Casino, Wind Creek Bethlehem and Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course.
Why this penalty matters for suppliers
Principal License applications have strict deadlines in Pennsylvania. When board members gain additional responsibilities, suppliers must act quickly. The $31,950 fine shows regulators won’t overlook paperwork delays.
The consent agreement process meant Evolution US accepted the findings. This approach often results in lower penalties than contested enforcement cases. But it still goes on the supplier’s regulatory record.
Pennsylvania’s exclusion list now includes 1,469 people. Those banned can’t gamble anywhere in the state, not at retail casinos, online sites or video gaming terminals.
What Evolution US failed to do
The board member assumed extra duties at the supplier. Evolution US should’ve filed the Principal License paperwork right away. Instead, they missed the deadline.
The regulator discovered this during routine compliance checks. The consent agreement with enforcement counsel followed. Evolution US didn’t contest the violation.
The four adults caught leaving minors unattended face permanent bans from Pennsylvania gaming. Their actions violated state law protecting children at casino properties.
How Pennsylvania’s market performed despite enforcement
November 2025 set a new state record. Total gaming revenue hit $623.1 million, up 10.8% from the previous month.
Sports betting drove much of the growth. Revenue reached $98.3 million, jumping 27.6%. Total handle climbed to $990.6 million, a 5.9% increase. Both figures broke monthly records.
iGaming generated $242.7 million in November. That’s a 21.1% increase, coming right after October’s record-breaking performance. Pennsylvania’s online casino sector continues gaining momentum.
The PGCB also acted against three video lottery terminal operators on November 19. Those fines totaled $89,500. Mann & Sidhu lost both establishment and individual principal licenses in that case.
Pennsylvania’s enforcement actions show regulators maintain strict oversight even as the market thrives. Suppliers and operators face consequences for compliance failures regardless of strong revenue numbers.
