  • failed to act in accordance with ordinary code provision 2.1.1 – Anti-money laundering

In line with the Commission’s Licensing, compliance and enforcement policy statement, the Indicative sanctions guidance and the Statement of principles for determining financial penalties, the Commission has decided to:  

  • impose a warning under section 117(1)(a) of the Gambling Act 2005 (the Act)
  • attach additional conditions to the Licensee’s operating licence under section 117(1)(b) of the Act

The Licensee co-operated with the Commission throughout the investigation and took corrective steps to address the identified failings.
