So why aren't we seeing them fined every month, if the attitude is that they don't care because the fine is so small, then it's a nice revenue stream for the UKGC every month. Few million for each, every month, a lot of money over the year. Repeated breaches would, of course, result in possible license loss or suspension, which I'm sure they would care about, but don't let the facts get in the way of your fantasy.
Fact is, more non uk casinos have been hit with penalties for this type of thing than uk casinos. Fact is the main bookmakers have a lot more UK customers than the smaller non uk ones. The fact is, if they were routinely ignoring these rules, we would see a lot more cases against them.
As I say, William hill were doing SoW requests before Videoslots, Casumo and L&L were even thought about. Unfortunately the posts were on a long gone forum, but heres one from 2016.
or if thats not old enough, how about this one from 2014
Or 2015
but yeah, they don't care, and thats why they don't do it, and aren't following the law at all. I don't recall seeing posts anywhere about SoW for AML purposes before about 2018 for any non uk based casino, and certainly not as far back as 2014. It was only after the penalties started to be dished out, some casinos started blanket sending them as they don't have a clue how to handle it.
