KSA issues Unibet two warnings over autoplay and gambling advertising

Enforcement & compliance

The Netherlands’ Kansspelautoriteit issued Unibet two warnings over a team bus displaying its logo for non-transport purposes and a game feature that automatically played purchased bonus spins. Unibet said the bonus-buy feature remained available for two hours because the game developer had not disabled it; the operator stopped it and compensated affected players. The regulator said repeat breaches could lead to stronger sanctions.
