On the confirmation page of its online cancellation process, a gym operator displayed a highlighted notice with the button "Pause contract via self-service"; in addition, the confirmation button was labelled "Find contract", which the defendant had already acknowledged. In an action brought by the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband), the BGH ruled that the confirmation page may only contain the information required for the cancellation and the confirmation button, set aside the judgment of the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf (OLG Düsseldorf) dismissing the action to that extent and ordered the operator to cease and desist.

The 2022 examination revealed that for more than two years the remote gaming operator had had no proper customer risk assessment for almost its entire player base; the assessments submitted had been prepared specifically for the examination. In addition, once players reached the deposit threshold of 2,000 EUR, it did not check in good time whether they were politically exposed persons. The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) imposed 80,907 EUR; the fine was still open to appeal at the time of publication.

Following a tip-off that at the Wasa Resort Spa filming was also taking place in the treatment area and for monitoring work discipline, and that cameras captured the neighbouring property, the Andmekaitse Inspektsioon (Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate, AKI) ordered the hotel to suspend video surveillance until a sound balancing of interests had been submitted, to stop recording the neighbouring property and to correct the camera information on the website. The hotel had repeatedly let the supervisory authority’s deadlines lapse.

The company gave universities and schools the impression of many years of experience with international education fairs and of supposedly upcoming tours, although it had not actually held any such events; in doing so, it relied on the relationships of the applicant SRT International. The Комисия за защита на конкуренцията (Bulgarian Commission for the Protection of Competition, KZK) regarded this conduct over more than one and a half years as seriously misleading (Art. 31 ZZK – Bulgarian Protection of Competition Act) and imposed 8% of 2023 turnover (17,000 leva), i.e. 1,360 leva, plus reimbursement of costs of 6,000.26 leva.
