What This Means for Consumers

Full Details

On 6 August 2025, the Gambling Commission announced a Financial Penalty against Kalooki Sportsbook Limited. The operator must pay £63,525 for breaching its licence conditions. The regulator found issues with the company's anti-money laundering (AML) and social responsibility procedures.

The investigation found that Kalooki Sportsbook Limited breached rules related to anti-money laundering (Licence Condition 12.1.1). It also failed to comply with multiple requirements for customer interaction (Social Responsibility Code Provision 3.4.3). As part of the action, the Commission has attached a new condition to the operator's licence. This requires Kalooki Sportsbook Limited to complete a third-party audit of its AML and social responsibility controls within 12 months.

This isn't the first time the operator has faced regulatory scrutiny. The Commission previously issued a Warning to Kalooki Sportsbook Limited in November 2023. The regulator noted that the company cooperated with the investigation and has taken steps to fix the failings.

Key Findings

  • Financial penalty of £63,525 imposed.
  • Breaches of anti-money laundering (AML) and social responsibility rules.
  • New licence condition requires a third-party audit within 12 months.
  • Action follows a previous Warning issued in November 2023.
