£6.1m fine for online operator In Touch Games
A gambling business will pay a £6.1m penalty after a Gambling Commission investigation revealed social responsibility and anti-money laundering failings.
This is the third time In Touch Games have faced regulatory action - in 2019 it paid a £2.2m settlement for regulatory failures and in 2021 it received a £3.4m fine and warning for further failures.
TonyBet will pay a £442,750 penalty and receive a warning for failing to have fair and transparent terms, and for failing to follow social responsibility and anti-money laundering rules.
The operator – which operates tonybet.co.uk – will also have to undergo a third-party audit to assess whether it is effectively implementing anti-money laundering (AML) and social responsibility requirements.
