Player's complaint

888 UK Limited reached a £9.4 million regulatory settlement with the UK Gambling Commission in 2022 covering social-responsibility, AML and self-exclusion handling failures. Specific cited cases included customers excluded via the operator's own self-exclusion scheme who were subsequently able to open new accounts using slightly different personal details. The investigation also surfaced patterns of late intervention with high-spending customers.

888 Casino response

888 accepted the settlement, stated that it had identified and addressed the root causes ahead of the settlement, and completed a programme of operational changes including stronger duplicate-account detection.
