Gambling Operator Hit with Another Major Penalty
UK Gaming Commission Imposes £1 Million Penalty on Greentube Alderney Limited for Inadequate Anti-Money Laundering Measures
Admiral Casino operator Greentube Alderney Limited faces a hefty £1 million fine for repeated AML and social responsibility slip-ups.
Here's a rundown of the operator's rundown of existential crises:
- 2021 Fine: The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) hit Greentube with a £685,000 fine for AML and social responsibility transgressions, marking their first major penalty in this arena.
- 2025 Penalty: Just a few years later, Greentube finds themselves in hot water once more. This time they're facing a massive £1 million fine due to continued inadequacies in AML and social responsibility practices [1][2][3].
The UKGC's latest move is part of a broader strategy to fortify controls within the gambling industry, ensuring operators prioritize thorough financial checks and diligent player monitoring [3].
