<p>Where an operator fails to meet its requirements under the Licensing Conditions
and Codes of Practice, the Gambling Commission can take regulatory action. Whilst
the vast majority of issues are resolved without the use of formal powers, the Gambling
Commission may, in the event of a serious breach, impose financial penalties or revoke
an operator’s licence. Within the regulatory process, the Commission may also agree
a regulatory settlement, whereby an operator agrees to makes a donation to a socially
responsible cause.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the number of fines and regulatory
settlements issued between 2010 and 2018. Together, these came to over £40 million.
These figures do not include other fines which may have been issued by the courts
as a result of prosecutions brought by other enforcement agencies.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>
