32Red fined for sole problem gambler and money laundering charges

Published

on

The UK’s Gambling Commission has slapped a penalty of £2m on online gambling operator 32Red for its failure to protect a problem gambler. The customer was allowed to deposit £758,000 with the firm. There were no money laundering or social responsibility checks.

The Gambling Commission emphasised that penalty was also for failing to prevent money laundering.

Kindred, the owner of 32Red, accepted the penalty and initiated action to improve its processes.

The Gambling Commission’s enquiry looked into 32Red’s dealings with the customer between November 2014 and April 2017 during which time there were at least 22 incidents indicating the customer was a problem gambler.

“Instead of checking on the welfare of a customer displaying problem gambling behaviour, 32Red encouraged the customer to gamble more – this is the exact opposite of what they are supposed to be doing,” said Richard Watson, the commission’s executive director said.

“Operators must take action when they spot signs of problem gambling and should be carefully reviewing all the customers they are having a high level of contact with.”

Bonuses offered

There had also been previous incidents highlighting the gambler’s problems but instead of scrutinising these, the customer was offered bonuses to carry on placing bets.

The Gambling Commission said 32Red should have reviewed the customer’s accounts in August 2016 but one was only conducted in January 2017, when a win of more than £1m was instantly gambled again.

The customer took five weeks to respond to requests about their financial position and failed to offer support when the information was provided, the commission said.

The payslip and report of commission for work was “not credible and showed volatility in receipted income”, according to the Gambling Commission.

These showed a monthly net income of £13,000 but average monthly deposits were in excess of £45,000. The customer’s average monthly net salary was actually £2,150.

The £2m penalty includes £709,046 divestment of the financial gain, a £1.3m payment to be used on the National Responsible Gambling Strategy, intended to tackle problem gambling, and £15,000 towards the cost of the investigation.

Asked if the customer had stolen the money to gamble, the Gambling Commission spokesman said: “The source of the customer’s wealth was not known to 32Red because they failed to fulfil their anti-money laundering obligations. We cannot comment on any other proceedings that may be active.”

The largest penalty imposed by the Gambling Commission was the £7.8m penalty on betting firm 888 in August 2017.
