Online gambling businesses face action from UKGC

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Two online casinos will pay a total of £1.3 million after Gambling Commission investigations revealed social responsibility failures at the businesses.

Rank Digital Gaming (Alderney) Limited – trading as Bella Casino, Grosvenor Casinos, Mecca Bingo and Mecca Games – will pay a £700,557 regulatory settlement for social responsibility failures.

Annexio (Jersey) Limited – trading as LottoGo.com – will pay £612,000 regulatory settlement for both social responsibility and money laundering failures.

Settlement money will go to the National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms.

Helen Venn, Gambling Commission Executive Director, said: “We expect high standards from operators to ensure gambling in Britain is safe and crime free. Those businesses that fail to meet these standards will find themselves facing costly regulatory action.”
