The review found failings in Octopus Game Limited’s Anti-Money Laundering / Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) and Social Responsibility (SR) controls.

Octopus Game Limited failed to comply with the following Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice  (LCCP):

• Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13 of Social Responsibility Code Provision (SRCP) 3.4.3 relating to remote customer interaction.

In line with our Statement of Principles for Licensing and regulation, Octopus Game Limited will make a payment in lieu of a financial penalty of £26,000. Details of this are set out under the heading Octopus Game Limited Regulatory Settlement.
