23 Mar 2026 Stanleybet Malta LimitedMalta: 225,730 EUR against betting operator Stanleybet over lack of customer checks in betting shops MaltaCustomer due diligence €225,730

Malta's Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) imposed 225,730 EUR, a penalty payment of 2,000 EUR per day and a follow-up directive on the licensed gambling operator, which works through a network of independently operated betting shops in an EU member state. The company was unable to link customers' cumulative deposits across different shops and only checked customers from a single deposit of 2,000 EUR upwards, so the threshold could be circumvented. The company has appealed.

What organisations can take from it

Thresholds must be aggregated per customer across all channels and branches – otherwise the system invites structuring.
