UKGC Imposes £1.4M Fine on AG Communications Limited
The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has imposed a fine of £1,407,834 on AG Communications Limited for Social Responsibility (SR) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) failures.
The operator, which trades as AspireGlobal and runs 58 websites, will pay the money to socially responsible causes as part of a settlement with the Commission.
Social responsibility failures included:
• not having effective systems in place to prevent customers spending significant amounts of money in a short period of time before an assessment was made as to whether the customer was potentially at risk of gambling related harm. This raised concern that velocity of spend was not identified or acted upon quickly enough
• failing to conduct a safer gambling interaction despite one customer losing £6000 in 48 hours. A telephone interaction was attempted but only when the daily loss limit of £5000 in 24 hours was reached
• one customer was able to deposit and lose £7000 in just over four hours in the early hours. This customer was able to play through the backstop in place at the time due to a system error which failed to prevent the customer from depositing above the backstop limit. A manual review of the customer did not identify the fact they had played through the backstop trigger
• one customer was able to open a significant number of gambling accounts despite the fact they had previously self-excluded.
Anti-money laundering failures included:
• AML/Counter Terrorist Financing (CTF) policies and procedures were too reliant on financial thresholds
• when customers hit a medium, medium/high or high ML risk score they were not subject to a manual Enhanced Customer Due Diligence (ECDD) check until a financial trigger was hit
• when financial thresholds were reached, there were delays in completing ECDD checks. One customer who reached the financial threshold did not have an ECDD review conducted until a week later
• not following its policy regarding ECDD checks. One customer who reached a financial threshold but did not have a high AML risk score, did not have a manual ECDD review until eight days later. This was contrary to AG Communications Limited’s policy.
This is the second time AG Communications Limited is facing regulatory action – in 2022 the operator paid £237,600 for AML failures.
John Pierce, Commission Director of Enforcement, said: “This case marks the second occasion that this operator has been subject to enforcement action. Its failure to uphold anti-money laundering standards, delays in necessary interventions, and deficiencies in social responsibility measures are wholly unacceptable.
“Today’s outcome underscores the gravity of these breaches. It is essential that operators not only implement and maintain robust anti-money laundering policies, procedures, and controls but also act swiftly and decisively in response to any indications of suspicious activity. Effective social responsibility measures must be in place at all times to ensure that consumers identified as at risk receive timely and appropriate intervention.
“This case stands as a clear warning to all operators that repeated regulatory failings will result in increasingly stringent enforcement action.”

GoldenRace presents new virtual football market Kinela X to tie up your profits
GoldenRace, leading developer and provider of cutting-edge betting solutions and virtual sports, recently announced the launch of Kinela X, an innovative new market for its acclaimed Virtual Football product.
Kinela X redefines the popular draw market by allowing players to bet on multiple draws within a single ticket, significantly enhancing engagement and potential payouts.
Already live for the leagues in Big5, Kinela X takes the standard draw market and turns it into something much more engaging. Players can now bet on 3 to 8 draws in a single ticket. The matches? All drawn from the top five leagues defined by each operator.
This change means that instead of relying on a single match to settle a bet, bettors can build a broader strategy across multiple matches. The more they include, the higher the potential payout.
Kinela X is also adaptable to different player profiles. Those looking for control can manually choose each match. Those chasing speed and high returns can use the Quick Pick feature to generate the highest payout combinations in just one tap.
Add to that realistic odds, fast-paced gameplay and the immersive GoldenRace’s Virtual Football, and you get a market that feels familiar – but plays completely differently.
Of course, none of this would work without the foundation, Big5. Which is already doing heavy lifting for operators. It merges five leagues into one screen. It runs on over 40 betting markets. It streams live video. And it’s mobile-first by design. Add tools like the Easy Wins Tracker and Predefined Combi Bets, and you’ve got one of the most complete Virtual Football products in the industry.
For Retail, the same market is available within our Virtual Football leagues product – bringing a strategic new option to terminal players. Get a full view on our new Retail product here.
With Kinela X, GoldenRace continues to expand the possibilities of Virtual Football – providing operators with new ways to boost ticket value, session time and player engagement.

711 Casino and Cherry Play join forces
Popular Dutch online casino brand adds provider’s content to its lobby while also taking advantage of its smart subscription-based commercial model
711 Casino has become the latest operator in the Netherlands to enter a content deal with Cherry Play, the exciting studio that offers a unique subscription-based commercial model.
The deal sees players at 711 Casino gain access to a suite of slot games proven to hit the mark with Dutch players. This includes Super Coin, Chef Super Bet plus few others that are already available to the network.
Cherry Play’s games are developed on Bragg Gaming’s advanced technology stack to ensure the highest quality for the player and a smooth, seamless integration for the operator.
But what makes Cherry Play really stand out is its unique commercial model which sees operators pay for its content on a subscription-based licensing basis.
This allows operators to give their games better lobby positioning and put greater promotional spend behind titles knowing they get to keep the majority of revenue generated.
The studio has really made a splash since hitting the market this January, rolling out its first run of titles and signing a string of operator partnerships in the Netherlands.
Olga Bejela, CEO of Cherry Play, said: “It’s great to see players at 711 Casino be able to experience our slots for the first time.
“That 711 can offer these games to its players and benefit from our unique commercial model is what makes this such a great deal for the operator and of course for Cherry Play.
“We have some incredible games in the works too that will land in the 711 Casino lobby as soon as they leave our production line.”
Gilles de Backer, Chief Operating Officer at 711 Casino, added: “Cherry Play is the only studio offering a subscription-based commercial model and this, combined with its striking classic slot games, made joining forces a no-brainer for us.
“A studio’s games are super important, but so too is the commercial agreement it offers. With Cherry Play, we can give its titles better positioning and more promotional spend, knowing that we get to keep the majority of the revenue this helps each game to generate.
“It’s deals such as this that keep our online casino lobby packed with fresh content and, thanks to Cherry Play’s licensing model, drive growth for the wider business.”
