UKGC Issues Fines to Two Operators over Social Responsibility Breaches

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has issued fines to two gaming companies that have breached social responsibility protocols.

Rank Digital Gaming (Alderney) Limited – trading as bellacasino.com, grosvenorcasino.com, meccabingo.com and meccagames.com – will have to pay £700,557 for social responsibility failures.

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

The 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.”
