Three weeks ago the FTSE 250 company said it had had a ‘record year’ as profits tripled. 

But last month it was fined £9.4m for ‘social responsibility and money laundering failings’ by the UK Gambling Commission.

In one instance 888 had not contacted a customer who lost £37,000 in a six-week period during the pandemic. 

Shares rose 5.3 per cent, or 9.7p, to 194.2p.
