The UK's second largest bookmaker, William Hill, has been fined £6.2m by the Gambling Commission for breaching anti-money laundering and social responsibility regulations: “ This was a systemic failing at William Hill which went on for nearly two years and today’s penalty package – which could exceed £6.2 million - reflects the seriousness of the breaches,” said the Commission. “While we are pleased to see that this case is now behind us, it should be noted that there were other breaches in our systems over the same period where customers may have lost money.

This follows similar penalties for 888 Holdings, which was fined £7.8m for failing to protect vulnerable customers, and a £2.3m penalty package against Ladbrokes Coral last year after two customers were able to gamble away around £1.3m of stolen money.
