In 2020 gambling companies globally had to pay more than £44m in fines, over half of this (£33m) was imposed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) for money laundering related offences. In the first quarter of 2021, the UKGC has already imposed more than £10m in fines for further anti-money laundering failures.
