Lottoland.co.uk had anti-money laundering deficiencies. The website did not prove the address of customers. Some punters were able to use third-party debit cards.
EU Lotto Limited was adjudged to have lacked information and relied too heavily on ineffective threshold triggers. Helen Venn, Executive Director for the Gambling Commission, confirms that the case was the result of planned compliance activity.
EU Lotto Limited was fined for not meeting the required standards. Nigel Birrell, CEO of EU Lottos, justified the company's actions in a press release. He said the most recent shortcomings were rectified.
