The Australian parent company of online wagering platform Unibet has been fined more than $1 million over its failure to close the betting accounts of almost 1000 customers who had registered for self-exclusion.
Betchoice Corporation, which trades as Unibet, has been hit with a $1,014,120 penalty following an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) investigation.
ACMA found Unibet guilty of more than 100,000 contraventions of Australia’s Interactive Gambling Act.
The regulator’s probe discovered that the accounts of 954 holders had not been closed despite the customers registering with BetStop - the National Self-Exclusion Register (NSER).
