Here is an interesting exert from the guardian article on the same topic: -
“The 888 sanction package will ensure those affected don’t lose out, that the operator pays the price for its failings via a sum that will go to tackling gambling-related harm, and that independent assurance will be given to see that lessons are learnt.”
The £7.8m includes repayment of the £3.5m deposits made by self-excluded customers and compensation of £62,000 to the employer from whom money was stolen.
Based on the above we can conclude that the UKGC clearly believe that deposits should be returned to self excluded customers. So when will they turn their attention to the other rogues out there I wonder?
And other analysts have pointed out that losing its UK licence would have been a lot worse than the voluntary settlement via a fine.
