On 28 March, iGB reported that gambling operator WHG International, which runs Williamhill.com, will pay £12.5 million to the UK Gambling Commission, while Mr Green, operator of Mrgreen.com will pay £3.7 million. The William Hill Organization, which runs 1,344 land-based gambling premises across Britain, will also pay £3.0 million. Specific failures noted included insufficient controls in place to protect new customers, and it failed to identify certain customers at risk of experiencing gambling-related harm and failing to carry out checks at an early stage in the customer’s journey. From an AML perspective, among other things, the Commission noted that players were allowed to deposit large amounts without conducting appropriate checks.
