What is a settlement?
Following an investigation into a licence holder we may enter into a regulatory settlement. These take place, for example, where the licence holder has been open and transparent with us and has shown a willingness to suggest actions that prevent the need for a more formal sanction.
Decision date: 13 June 2019
Outcomes: Divestment, Payment in lieu of financial penalty, Commission costs and Public statement
Details of action
The Commission carried out an investigation into Platinum Gaming Ltd which identified weaknesses in its anti-money laundering and customer interaction controls.
