UKGC investigates bookmaker over alleged VIP referrals to illegal gambling site

Enforcement & compliance

The UK Gambling Commission is investigating an unnamed British bookmaker over whether VIP customers were directed to an unlicensed online casino. The regulator requested further financial records after documents reportedly disclosed financial links with an offshore operator; the bookmaker denies knowing of any breaches and says it will co-operate.

The investigation could put the bookmaker’s UK licence and executives at risk if the allegations are substantiated.
