Nothing so surprising with the news though, obviously while some are sending 'letters' others are making tens of millions on a yearly basis, paying their fees and taxes and everyone is happy, including the one sending the letters...

It's okay mate, that was a link to an article in a newspaper and as long as it's not rival related no problems.

pinnit2015 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Likely to be your high street brands. HSBC were essentially facilitating ML years ago. Last time i looked they still had a FCA registration. They'll pay a few pennies and all weaknesses will be forgotten. cocopop3011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinnit2015 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Be interesting to see if anything comes of this! To be fair, it's the Guardian reporting this - they've been on a quest against all forms of gambling for the last year. They're sensationalist headlines around gambling are becoming on a par with the Daily Mail and evil immigrants coming to our fair land. Can't imagine it - William Hill will simply ship operations to that place of equity - Tel Aviv cocopop3011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinny47 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That could easily bankrupt a casino actually. It is a big fine although the company as a whole made around £300m profit last year. It's a profitable industry this gambling.....for some volendam101, cocopop3011 and Fiekie247 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
