Spelinspektionen fines Spooniker SEK10m over due diligence failures

Enforcement & compliance

Sweden’s Spelinspektionen fined Kindred subsidiary Spooniker SEK10 million over shortcomings in customer due diligence and safeguards against money laundering and terrorist financing. Kindred said it had taken steps to improve controls and was considering an appeal; the regulator requires stronger monitoring of high-risk customers and more detailed risk assessments.
