What This Means for Consumers
888 UK Limited remains licensed and can still operate in the UK. While the operator fixed this specific issue, a history of repeated penalties shows ongoing compliance problems that consumers should be aware of.
Full Details
On 7 August 2025, the Gambling Commission issued a Financial Penalty to 888 UK Limited. The operator was ordered to pay £33,075 for failing to follow a key social responsibility rule. This action is a formal penalty for a breach of its licence conditions.
The investigation found that 888 UK Limited didn't properly identify customers who held accounts with both the operator and its group companies. This is a breach of the Social Responsibility Code Provision (SRCP 3.9.1), which covers the identification of individual customers. The Commission noted that the company identified and reported the breach itself. It also took action to fix the problem and cooperated with the investigation.
This isn't the first time the operator has faced regulatory action. Records show this is the third financial penalty for 888 UK Limited since August 2024. These repeated actions contribute to the operator's low trust rating.
