The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has imposed a £672,829 fine on GGPoker (NSUS Limited) for social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures.

The Commission found that the operator had failed to identify customers at risk of experiencing harmful gambling – while also failing to interact with those at risk of gambling-related harm.

The brand additionally sent out marketing emails to 125 customers who were on the self-exclusion list.

Furthermore, the Commission revealed that GGPoker’s anti-money laundering failures included: failing to conduct adequate risk assessments of a business being used for money laundering and terrorist financing, while also failing to have the correct procedures and controls in place to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
