Leo Vegas - Fined

[pinnit2015]

Can't post links but LV fined for marketing to SE customers (600k fine) and taking bets. You can see on the Guardian/BBC site. Joining the Cassava club.

 

What will happen? Prepare for more 'pro active' approaches from others seeking to cover their position. 

 

I'm sure the gambling hating article writers at the Guardian wrote their piece with great glee

Thanks for sharing, mate.

 

Since we obviously talk about a non-commercial link here, it's okay to have it listed.

There was a poster a few months ago who raised the question of 'they didn't allow a 24hr cooling off period' as part of his 'complaint'

 

Interesting that in the LV case: The gambling operator also allowed 413 previously self-excluded customers to gamble “without speaking to those customers first or applying a 24-hour cooling off period before allowing them to gamble,” according to the UKGC.

 

Also, LV blamed affiliates for some of the marketing errors.

 

Well here's a tip - manage your affiliates better   

 

I was talking to a casino affiliate manager once who stated that, when i complained his affiliates were spamming me, that 'we are not the same as the affiliate'. Aka - it's not our problem. I don't know what i was more shocked at - his blase attitude or the fact that he didn't even know what his job was.

I'm sure half of them are casual gamblers
