30 Dec 2025 Rickenbacher Data LLC (Datamasters)CPPA: $45,000 against data broker Datamasters over failure to register USA, CAMarketing and consent €38,275

Without registering as a data broker, the Texas reseller traded in the names and contact details of millions of people, sorted by illnesses such as Alzheimer's or addiction, by age, presumed ethnicity and political views. In addition to the fine, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) requires it to stop selling data on all Californians.

What organisations can take from it

Companies that buy or sell address lists for advertising must check registration obligations – health-related lists are particularly risky.

20 Nov 2025 Caesars Entertainment, Inc. / Desert Palace, LLC (Caesars Palace)Nevada: 7.8 million USD against Caesars over gambling by an illegal bookmaker USA, NVCustomer due diligence €6.77m

On 13 November 2025, the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) filed a disciplinary complaint for unsuitable methods of operation in connection with the illegal bookmaker Mathew Bowyer and at the same time concluded a settlement of 7.8 million USD with conditions attached to the gaming licences. The conditions relate primarily to improving the AML programme and to additional training and awareness-raising for employees; the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) adopted the settlement as its order on 20 November 2025 (Case No. 25-03).

What organisations can take from it

Casino staff must recognise high-risk players and unexplained sources of funds – revenue interests must not override AML obligations.

Relevance to training and awareness

Checking the source of gambling funds, recognising high-risk customers

Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.

A web of companies owned by the Hong family concealed the employer; the Notice of Final Findings of 21 October 2025 established 438,204 USD, with OptumCare jointly liable as the client.

Clients of cleaning and service providers should check working hours and breaks at the provider – otherwise they are jointly liable.
