A U.K. online gaming company was fined 6.1 million pounds (U.S. $7.6 million) by the country’s Gambling Commission for a series of anti-money laundering (AML) failures.
In Touch Games, which operates 11 gambling websites, was not adequately assessing the AML risks posed by gambling customers who live in high-risk jurisdictions, are politically exposed persons, or are linked to PEPs, among other risk factors, the commission said Wednesday in a press release.
In Touch also did not conduct adequate due diligence on the source of income of customers who lost £10,000 (U.S. $12,400) over a 12-month period, according to the agency.
