What regulators have done about LeoVegas
| Date | Regulator | Against | Amount | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (exact) | Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) | LeoVegas Gaming PLC | CAD 25,000 | On 20 April 2023 the AGCO issued LeoVegas Gaming PLC an Order of Monetary Penalty of CAD 25,000 for breaching Standards 4.08 and 4.09 of the Registrar's Standards for Internet Gaming: the operator offered games on its Ontario gaming site that had not been approved by the AGCO Registrar nor certified by a registered Independent Testing Laboratory. The penalty was part of a wider action in which the AGCO fined three operators a combined CAD 70,000 (Mobile Incorporated Limited CAD 30,000, LeoVegas Gaming PLC CAD 25,000, Bunchberry Limited CAD 15,000). Recorded as DIRECT: LeoVegas Gaming PLC is the AGCO/iGO-registered operator of leovegas.com in Ontario. source |
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | LeoVegas Gaming Limited | GBP 1,320,000 | The Gambling Commission announced on 3 August 2022 that LeoVegas Gaming Limited (UKGC account 39198, operating leovegas.com and other GB-facing brands) would pay a GBP 1.32m penalty, receive an official warning and undergo an independent audit, following a licence review covering October 2019 to October 2020. Social responsibility failings included setting safer-gambling review triggers far above the average customer's spend without justification and applying a 45-minute cool-off only after six hours of continuous play. Anti-money-laundering failings included setting financial triggers for AML reviews too high. Recorded as DIRECT: LeoVegas Gaming Limited is the operating licensee for leovegas.com in Great Britain. source |
| (exact) | Spillemyndigheden (Denmark) | LeoVegas Gaming Plc | — | On 28 October 2021 the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden) issued LeoVegas a reprimand for breaching customer due diligence rules (sections 10, 11 and 17 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act), the investigation obligation (section 25) and the reporting obligation (section 26). The finding followed a spot-sample review of 20 of LeoVegas's high-roller customers, in which breaches were identified for five of the 20, mainly in 2017-2019. No financial penalty was imposed; the regulator noted LeoVegas had introduced new customer due diligence procedures from 1 January 2020. Recorded as DIRECT (a reprimand, not a fine): LeoVegas Gaming Plc holds the Danish licence for leovegas.com. source |
| (exact) | Spelinspektionen (Sweden) | LeoVegas Gaming Plc | SEK 2,000,000 | On 23 April 2021 the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen) issued LeoVegas Gaming Plc a warning and a sanction fee of SEK 2,000,000 for deficiencies in its work against money laundering and terrorist financing. The regulator found the operator had not applied the risk-based approach required by law, and was deficient in customer due diligence, customer risk classification and documentation of measures taken, creating significant risk that LeoVegas could be used for money laundering. LeoVegas appealed to the Administrative Court (Forvaltningsratten) but subsequently withdrew the appeal, so the decision and sanction fee stand. Recorded as DIRECT: LeoVegas Gaming Plc operates leovegas.com. source |
