The penalty followed an investigation revealing 21 breaches of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Code of 2019. The violations included deficiencies in due diligence and issues with customer identity verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the initial fine was set at \u00a31 million, it was reduced to \u00a3700,000 due to BMO Manx Limited\u2019s early cooperation with authorities. The company held an online gambling license from November 2021 until surrendering it in August 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Evolution Under UK Gambling Commission Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full text-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/a-tough-end-of-the-year-for-betsson-and-evolution-whats-going-on3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/a-tough-end-of-the-year-for-betsson-and-evolution-whats-going-on3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/a-tough-end-of-the-year-for-betsson-and-evolution-whats-going-on3-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Evolution Malta Holding Limited, part of the Evolution Group, is under review by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).

Evolution has expressed full cooperation with the UKGC and has taken immediate steps to block access to its games from the identified unauthorized sites. Martin Carlesund, CEO of Evolution, stated: &#8220;We are taking forceful action using all available technical tools to ensure our games are only accessible in the UK through Commission-licensed operators.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/a-tough-end-of-the-year-for-betsson-and-evolution-whats-going-on4-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/a-tough-end-of-the-year-for-betsson-and-evolution-whats-going-on4-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/a-tough-end-of-the-year-for-betsson-and-evolution-whats-going-on4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/a-tough-end-of-the-year-for-betsson-and-evolution-whats-going-on4-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/a-tough-end-of-the-year-for-betsson-and-evolution-whats-going-on4.jpg 1299w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These events highlight the increasing vigilance and rigor of regulators in the global gambling industry.
