The Gambling Commission said on 21 October 2026 that it had concluded a regulatory settlement with L & L Europe Limited, holder of remote operating licence number 038758, R, 319451-015.
According to the Commission, the case arose from a regulatory review carried out under section 116 of the Gambling Act, which followed a compliance assessment of the licensee’s remote operating licence. The Commission said the review identified failings in the operator’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing controls, as well as in its Social Responsibility controls.
The Commission said L & L Europe failed to comply with several requirements of the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice between October 2024 and October 2025. These included a breach of the fair and transparent terms requirement under Licence Condition 7.1.1, and a breach of the customer identity requirement under Licence Condition 17.1.1 relating to withdrawal requests. The Commission also found breaches of Licence Condition 12.1.1, covering risk assessment, policies and controls for preventing money laundering, as well as failures to comply with several paragraphs of Social Responsibility Code Provision 3.4.3 relating to remote customers. A further breach of Licence Condition 2.3.1, concerning compliance with the Commission’s technical standards, was also identified.
The Commission said that, in line with its Statement of Principles for licensing and regulation, the outcomes of the case are a public statement, payment of the Commission’s costs, and a payment in lieu of a financial penalty of £900,000.
