Details of action
Following an investigation into a key event submission by DK Crown Holdings Inc (“the Licensee”), the Gambling Commission (“the Commission”) found that the Licensee breached:
- Social Responsibility Code Provision (“SRCP”) 3.5.3(1) – Self-exclusion
The failure to comply with a SRCP is a breach of a licence condition by virtue of section 82(1) of the Gambling Act 2005 (“the Act”).
In line with the Commission’s Licensing, compliance and enforcement policy statement and the Statement of principles for determining financial penalties, the Commission has decided to impose a financial penalty of £28,750 under section 121(1) of the Act.
Commission Officials note that the Licensee identified the breach and proactively reported it to the Commission. The Licensee took immediate remedial action to address the identified issues and co-operated with the Commission throughout the investigation. The Commission also notes that the SRCP breach relates to a specific exceptional issue and that the Licensee’s self-exclusion procedures, in general, continued to operate.
