UKGC fines GGPoker $743,536 for anti-money laundering and social responsibility failures

The UK Gambling Commission announced Wednesday that it is mandating online casino NSUS Limited to pay £672,829 ($743,536) in fines after an investigation revealed social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures. The operator – which trades as GGPoker and operates ggpoker.co.uk – will also receive an official warning for the failures. 클레오카지노 먹튀검증

Social responsibility failures detected in NSUS Limited operations include the business failing to identify customers who may be at risk of experiencing harms associated with gambling, and failing to interact with customers who may be at risk of experiencing harms associated with gambling.

Moreover, the operator also failed to take all reasonable steps to prevent any marketing material from being sent to self-excluded customers when it sent marketing emails to 125 self-excluded customers. 

When it comes to anti-money laundering failures, the issues involved failing to conduct adequate risk assessments of the business being used for money laundering and terrorist financing and failing to ensure they have appropriate policies, procedures, and controls to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. 클레오카지노 회원가입

The regulatory measure is the latest in a string for the Commission. It was just last month when the Gambling Commission fined Petfre Limited, the parent company of Betfred, $3.06 million for similar failures. 솔카지노 먹튀검증

At the time, Leanne Oxley, Gambling Commission Director of Enforcement and Intelligence, said of Betfred’s failings: "We expect this gambling business and all other licensees to review this case and look closely to see if they need to make further improvements to demonstrate active compliance. Where standards do not improve, tougher enforcement will follow.”
