Electrawork fined £350k by UKGC

[Slotplayer]

Online gambling business ElectraWorks has been fined £350,000 by the Gambling Commission for repeatedly misleading consumers with adverts relating to free bonuses. 

In April 2017 the Commission discovered six similar breaches on its casinoking.com, casinolasvegas.com, noblecasino.com, partycasino.com, partypoker.com and scasino.com websites. In June 2017 the same breaches were subsequently found again on these sites. And in August 2017 a similar breach occurred on ElectraWorks’ casinolasvegas.com website.

Here is another from 2017 regarding GALA and their fine for responsible gambling breaches:-

If you need any help digging up any other old stories give me a shout.

The most recent story concerns Leovegas (the majority owners of this forum). Here's a link if you're interested...(it's a responsible gambling and misleading adverts fine):-

@NudgeShuffle

Thank for those.

I think it is quite important that all stories are shared and not selective ones.

People wouldn't want to think there is a hidden agenda now.

So I will continue to post them as they are appearing on the UKGC website - irrespective of which casino is involved.

And yes, I am already aware of the Leovegas one as it has already been posted in this forum. I (and you) already contributed to the topic in case you already forgot.

@Slotplayer Good for you. Perhaps by keeping a renewed focus on the individual casino failures the community might bring about positive change on the bad actors in the industry and their shameful behaviour. Good luck.
