A remote bookmakers licence holder from Ireland who operated an internet casino was fined over €1 million in the UK for bad bets. Due to violations of anti-money laundering and social responsibility laws, LeoVegas must pay a hefty fine.
Additionally, the operator, who manages the websites leovegas.com, slotboss.co.uk, pinkcasino.co.uk, betuk.com, and 21.co.uk, will get a formal warning and go through an audit to make sure it adheres to policies and procedures moving forward.
“We will continue to take action against additional operators if they do not learn the lessons our enforcement work is giving,” said Leanne Oxley of the UK Gambling Commission.Failures included not acting on its policy of interacting with customers “exhibiting symptoms of damage” and setting spend triggers for a customer review “much higher” than necessary.
In order to “actively manage money laundering and terrorist financing threats,” it also set unrealistically high financial triggers for anti-money laundering inspections.The most recent fine, according to Barry Grant of Extern Problem Gambling, is the “latest in a long line.”
“The Commission issued €38 million in fines to corporations in the most recent financial year, many of whom have operating permits in Ireland,” he continued.”The government must act quickly to establish a gambling regulator.”
