🇱🇺 Unibet Fined €400,000: 🔗 Discover How Players Circumvented the ⚠️ Cruks Self-Exclusion System
The Kindred Group's Unibet was hit with a €400,000 fine by the Dutch regulator KSA for failing to comply with the national Cruks self-exclusion system. Between November 2022 and January 2023, self-excluded players were able to create accounts and place bets on the operator's platform.
🤔 What is Cruks? ✍ Cruks is a voluntary self-exclusion program designed to block individuals with gambling issues from accessing online casinos and betting sites.
📉 During the 2022 World Cup, a surge in traffic to Unibet's website caused a technical glitch that allowed some self-excluded players to bypass the system's restrictions, resulting in serious regulatory repercussions.
💡 While Unibet promptly resolved the issue and argued that Cruks itself experienced technical difficulties, the KSA dismissed these claims. The regulator underscored that Cruks verifications are critical to safeguarding players and mitigating the risks of gambling addiction.
⚖️ The verdict? A €400,000 fine, which Unibet accepted without contest, demonstrating its commitment to fostering a responsible gambling environment in 🇳🇱 the Netherlands.
