The Gambling Commission said on 7 October 2026 that it had reached a regulatory settlement with Grosvenor Casinos Limited after a licence review identified failings in the operator’s anti-money laundering and social responsibility controls.
According to the Commission, a licence review under Section 116 of the Gambling Act was opened following information provided to the regulator and key event notices submitted by Grosvenor Casinos. While that review was under way, the Commission said further intelligence prompted a targeted compliance assessment of one of the operator’s venues, which was carried out on 13 June 2025.
The Commission said the review found that Grosvenor Casinos had breached licence conditions relating to the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, specifically paragraphs 2 and 3 of LC 12.1.1. The regulator also found that the operator had failed to comply with social responsibility code provisions covering premises-based customer interaction, namely paragraphs (1)(b) and (c), and paragraph 2 of SRCP 3.4.1. The Commission noted that compliance with a social responsibility code provision is a condition of the licence under section 82(1) of the Act.
As a result, the Commission said Grosvenor Casinos will make a payment in lieu of a financial penalty of £5,012,261, in line with the regulator’s Statement of Principles for Licensing and Regulation. The outcomes of the case, as set out by the Commission, also include a public statement and payment of the Commission’s costs.
