Gambling operator LeoVegas will pay a £1.32m penalty imposed by the UK Gambling Commission for social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures.
The operator - which runs leovegas.com, slotboss.co.uk, pinkcasino.co.uk, betuk.com and 21.co.uk - will also receive an official warning and undergo an audit to ensure it is effectively implementing its anti-money laundering and social responsibility policies, procedures and controls.
Leanne Oxley, the Gambling Commission's director of enforcement and intelligence, said: “We identified this through focused compliance activity and we will continue to take action against other operators if they do not learn the lessons our enforcement work is providing.
“This case is a further example of operators failing to protect customers and failing to be alive to money laundering risks within their business.”
