I would not be surprised to see bgo pass this through to the affiliate partners by shaving and retroactively changing commissions...

It is good to see that a governing body is taking action rather than using that as a scare tactic its an eye opener for all UK operations

Does anyone know what was wrong with the affiliate sites involved in this case?
Just old banners without the "18+ gambleaware.co.uk T&C apply" lines or something else?

Gee I wonder how they feel about operators advertising 1500% bonuses when the maximum bonus is 500%.
My guess this case will not be the final one and is only the beginning.

It is also necessary to put a link for the addiction of the players. It's better.
