The company, previously operating white label sites for football club sponsors, surrendered its licence due to persistent anti-money laundering (AML) failures and inadequate due diligence. This follows a \u00a3316,250 fine in 2023 for similar issues in its business-to-business and white label operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gambling Commission<\/a> identified multiple shortcomings in TGP Europe\u2019s practices, including failure to conduct proper due diligence on third-party partners, assess money laundering risks, or verify fund sources. The company\u2019s AML policies were ineffective, particularly in implementing enhanced due diligence, and it did not address illegal activities tied to its white label sites in Great Britain or abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exit impacts sponsorship deals with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Premier League<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/efl.com\/competitions\/efl-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Championship<\/a> clubs like AFC Bournemouth, Fulham, Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Burnley, now associated with unlicensed gambling operators. The Commission has directed these clubs to submit proof of due diligence on partners and effective geo-blocking to block UK access to these sites, ensuring VPNs cannot circumvent restrictions. Non-compliance may lead to prosecution of club officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/igamingeuropa.com\/finlands-shift-to-competitive-gambling-market-sparks-committee-warnings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Finland\u2019s Shift to Competitive Gambling Market Sparks Committee Warnings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Pierce, Head of Enforcement at the Commission, stated: \u201cThis case involves a gambling company that was unwilling or unable to meet the regulatory standards we expect from our licensees. It is right that they have now exited the British market.\u201d He added that ongoing, unannounced checks will ensure these sites remain inaccessible, noting: \u201cIt is essential that football clubs play their part in protecting fans and GB consumers who may be exposed to advertising of these sites through their sponsorship arrangements from harm or exploitation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers are encouraged to check the Gambling Commission\u2019s register to confirm a site\u2019s licensing status. The Commission warned other operators with white label setups to take note of this enforcement.
