According to an ESPN report, a group of about 10 bettors were still waiting to get paid when the game concluded. Unfortunately, the sportsbook is scheduled to close at 1 am on weeknights, meaning most of the money had already been looked up by the time the game ended.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce 1 am hits, our cages are closed,\u201d a spokesperson for FanDuel said in a statement. \u201cWe cannot take wagers or pay out wagers after that time. To be clear, there was no issue with cash on hand. All customers are welcome to return today to collect any winnings, or to mail in any winning tickets for payment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nESPN spoke to a bettor named Eric, who was visiting from Atlanta and traveling back home on Wednesday. According to Eric, there were some bettors who had significant outstanding bets when the game ended, while he was owed $340 by the sportsbook.<\/p>\n
A man who appeared to be the same Eric also tweeted about the incident on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe @FanDuel onsite leadership team told us all watching the two last games, they would process winning tickets after the game,\u201d tweeted user @GoldboxATL, who displays his name as Eric on Twitter. \u201cThey just simply didn\u2019t have enough cash on hand. Some paid, others not.\u201d<\/p>\n
