UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) is in the process of collecting another large fine from a gaming operator. Paddy Power Betfair, the Flutter-owned company operating under the PPB Counterparty Services Limited brand, has received a fine of £490,000 (US$603,000) from the regulator for sending notifications to excluded consumers.
Following a recent inquiry, the commission came across evidence that in November 2021, the Paddy Power mobile app extended an array of promotional prospects for English Premier League matches. It sent these notifications to users who had previously chosen to withdraw from gambling via GAMSTOP or the owner’s self-exclusion program.
