Authorities impose financial penalties and restrict gambling access

Financial penalties reported this week covered account funding, promotion and licensing administration. Ukraine's PlayCity fined Slots U.A., operator of BetKing and 777.ua, more than UAH4.75 million, saying it allowed third parties to fund player accounts. A Berlin administrative court refused to suspend enforcement of a €250,000 coercive payment against rapper Capital Bra over alleged promotion of unlicensed gambling. ¹²

Pennsylvania's regulator reported approval of a $50,250 fine against MGM Resorts International for a late Principal Licensing application. Separately, the International Tennis Integrity Agency banned Stefan Milićević for 24 years and fined him €70,000 for match fixing, anti-corruption breaches and failure to cooperate. ³⁴

Access restrictions accompanied the financial measures. Italy's ADM ordered blocks against 381 additional unauthorised gambling websites and restored access to one. Sweden's Spelinspektionen temporarily revoked Charm Entertainment's land-based casino licence, ordering an immediate stop pending a final ruling or 1 April 2027 at the latest. ⁵⁶
