Mr Green Fined for 3M pounds failing Social Responsibility and AML
pinnit2015 replied to Fiekie247's topic in Casinos General
I like the fact they're alluding to the fact it's all the UKGC's fault.... It's a breach of 116 or something...NOT AML OR RG...so how's this the GC's fault. It's not. If you look into the breach here's, and take what you want from it, the possible reason 'suspects that the licensee may be unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities' Wonder have they recruited from Betat? Given the amount of shilling they do, it's not a surprise that their management may not be most desirable as that level of shillings been approved by their senior management/owner Good riddance - get bent (oops, you probably already are) -

SOF is typically in relation to the course for that transaction. Deposits into casino from same account, or even one time. You're looking at that specific account that's been used to fund the casino deposit. SOW is in relation to the entire asset base of your money - yes, i have the bank account above but i also have a house/inheritance etc. In practice they're actually used together. SOW would fit more in with RG in many ways - because your asking to see how much money the person has, not just the bank account like in SOF. But it's under the AML as well - mainly cos of the ability to layer money. AML guidance requires you to establish both - which is fair: one for the transactions and the SOW for how that fits in with their overall wealth. The burden for each is different as well - SOF is far easier to establish - SOW's more tangled. Clear as mud hey....reason why things like this have individuals with specific skillsets. But we're supposed to believe casino's have this ? Yeah, right - they can't even keep a hold of some of their affiliates and marketing databases -

That’s another thing as well and I’m guilty of it too in haste; things are being called SOW when they’re SOF; there’s a difference not just in name but in practicability. -

And before folk, sometimes rightfully, jump on the overly harsh GC position, a lot of the points made are bog standard; no risk assessment etc, no interaction etc But a worrying one is; customer won, customer lost the 50k winnings. Let’s be honest, when we win the casino gets it back; might not be in a day, or a week, or a month but return it we do... is the difference here the speed? Dunno... -

Yes and there was a post here by a guy who said Casumo were asked for SOW going back 3 years. At the time I said it’s too little too late so why are they asking for that; Well, Mr Green took ten-year-old evidence of a £176,000 claims payout as satisfactory evidence of source of funds (SOF) for a customer who deposited over £1m -
No madness here, smoking too much of the green herb when i was in my teenage years, has ensured a relatively calm demeanour. I get perturbed more than irate. Namaste

Such a crusade would feature well on a CV of applying for a job at a left wing newspaper like the Guardian, even the Daily Mail, OR in fact, the UKGC.

Sounds of it they should just exclude from all online casinos. Imagine depositing and losing in a casino? Shocking stuff from the casinos allowing such a practice of players losing.

Help with casinos we can trust !

UK it's mandatory to display in help files, for all it's worth. But talk of a naughty casino stating they're running the higher versions when it's in fact, the lower -
Incase you need somewhere to play, here's my personal view of ones that won't treat you like a degenerate gambling addict for throwing 40 a week: Novibet - one call, timed out for a day or two but generally reasonable Videoslots - they won't bother you Rizk - they will jump in at some point with a questionnaire but at 40p/w should be fine. White Hat Gaming sites - they're just interested in Bonus bans, you could probably chuck your house at them I'd avoid Casumo as they're currently running around like a demented housefly

There was a magical time when you played at casinos, won/lost, walked away or bought summat with your cash and spoke to the casino the odd time if a game didn't load. Those days went a number of years ago and the last 6months at least have been pretty grim experience wise Some places, like Stakers, will ask you for you bank statement to check your RG credentials if you dare deposit 500 quid, Casumo will ask for it going back 3 years etc and break a few GDPR laws along the way

Malta Gaming (or is it gambling?) Authority licence holders. I've chucked a fair few quid in casinos over the years and BY A MILE, any licensed in Malta (like lV) employ the most OTT, disproportionate interpretations of laws and regulations. The UK ones, to my experience, no (Didn't know you were CAD). The last year has seen them get worse - banned from logging cos i didn't answer a call, imposing mandatory limits and in some cases (Casumo), plain skullduggery. In their quest to 'appear' responsible they get you to fill out stupid questionnaires and take, IMO, lazy approaches to a lot of this. Some are worse than others. If you have a 20 quid a week limit, and had so in my case at some of these places, why employ blanket approaches to RG? Cos it's lazy. They're trying to cover their arses in fear of a fine etc but still, come on.

Sign of the times pal. LV have a bit of a cheek given their chequered history with RG and a few SE issues. In their defence, they're being asked by the UKGC to look for patterns of behaviour that indicate RG issues and the asking for a withdrawal to be flushed might be one of theirs they deem. I've had casino's that have asked for bank statements as part of RG - they've just gotten closed. I advise if you want to avoid this in it's entirety you go with a UK bookie (feel like i'm plugging UK operators). I play at 3 main UK bookies now and 2/3 MGA's - guess how many i've had issues regarding AML/RG issues? Yep - all MGA. Funny that.

Looks like the bottoms not been hit for the guy. I just don't get the mindset of someone who has claimed they needed the MGA to repay folk he owed money to (or swindled from) to then be casually gambling. oh well, different scruples for different folks.- 1433 replies

So, if you had received that money via MGA you'd basically have spunked it back in slots? Don't think your story is going to have a happy ending mate.- 1433 replies
