Ksa revokes Quick Boys lottery licence after impersonation fraud

Enforcement & compliance · SectorWire deskSource published

Summary

The Dutch Kansspelautoriteit revoked a lottery licence held in the name of football club Quick Boys after an impersonator posing as the club's chairman obtained it. The club had not applied for the licence, which was used to set up websites offering lottery tickets. The regulator said it has tightened checks on applicant identity and domain names.

Why it matters

The case shows licence applicants' identity checks can be defeated, raising compliance and reputational risk for lotteries and the clubs whose names are used.
