Ladbrokes and Coral owner find for failing to protect customers after new gambling laws came in
Entain, the gambling firm behind Ladbrokes and Coral, could lose its licence to operate in the UK after it was told to pay a record £17m settlement over its inaction as individual customers spent hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The Gambling Commission highlighted a series of failings in Entain’s online and high street business, all of which took place after the government announced a review of gambling laws that has led the industry to promise to improve controls to tackle addiction and prevent money laundering.
