The UK   William Hill

The regulator said the issues at the three companies in the William Hill group, owned by online gaming and betting operator 888, were so “widespread and alarming” that it seriously considered suspending the firm’s licence.

But Gambling Commission Chief Executive Andrew Rhodes said the company was allowed to continue to operate after it recognised its failings and worked to implement improvements quickly.

“We found serious non-compliance issues around safer gambling measures… and also anti-money laundering control failings across the company,” Rhodes told BBC Radio. ■
