Summary
Financial Penalty
£360,000
What This Means for Consumers
The operator's licence remains active, so customers can still use its services. However, the findings show there were weaknesses in the company's ability to protect players and prevent money laundering during the review period.
Full Details
On 1 September 2025, the Gambling Commission announced a Regulatory Settlement with Maple International Ventures Limited. The operator agreed to pay £360,000 in lieu of a formal financial penalty. This action wasn't a fine but a settlement where the operator accepts responsibility for compliance failures found during a regulatory review.
The review found problems between June 2023 and October 2024. The company didn't meet standards for its anti-money laundering controls, breaching rules that require appropriate risk assessments and policies (Licence Condition 12.1.1). It also failed on social responsibility, specifically in how it handles remote customer interactions (Social Responsibility Code Provision 3.4.3).
This is the first regulatory action taken against Maple International Ventures Limited. The settlement also requires the company to pay for the Commission's investigation costs and make a public statement about its failings. The operator's licence isn't suspended, so it can continue to trade.

- Action announced on 1 September 2025.
