Details

Following an investigation into a key event submission by 888 UK Limited outside of a licence review, the Gambling Commission found that 888 UK Limited (“the Licensee”) failed to comply with paragraph 3 of SRCP Condition 3.9.1 – Identification of individual customers – remote which requires the following:  

“Licensees which are companies or other bodies corporate must take all reasonable steps to comply with the above provision as if reference to a customer holding more than one account with them included a reference to a customer holding one or more accounts with them and one or more accounts with a group company.”

The failure to comply with an SRCP is a breach of a licence condition of by virtue of section 82(1) of the Act. The Commission will shortly issue an invoice in respect of the financial penalty which will become payable by the Licensee within 28 days. 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 financial penalty of £33,075 under section 121(1) of the Act. Commission Officials note that the Licensee self-identified the breach and proactively reported it to the Commission. Officials note the remedial action that was taken by the Licensee and acknowledge that the Licensee has co-operated with the Commission throughout the investigation.
