Just last week the GC fined 32Red and Platinum Gaming – two Kindred Group operators a combined total of £7.2 million. “ However, because the operator immediately recognized their failings and worked with us to swiftly implement improvements, we instead opted for the largest enforcement payment in our history,” Rhodes added. Gambling Commission chief executive, Andrew Rhodes said: “ When we launched this investigation the failings we uncovered were so widespread and alarming serious consideration was given to license suspension.”Ī quick response of full cooperation to fix the failures appears to have saved the operator from even more stringent and robust enforcement. The William Hill-owned online casino site, Mr Green, and the operator of more than 1,300 gambling venues across the UK, William Hill Organization Limited, were hit with various fines ranging from the land-based levy of £3 million to Mr Green with a penalty of £3.7 million, and most significantly operator WHG (International) Limited, with a £12.5 million smackdown. The penalties come as a result of social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures. The Gambling Commission in Great Britain has ordered three businesses within the William Hill Group to pay the Commission’s largest fine ever issued, a combined £19.2 million.
