Overview

• The Gambling Commission has contacted five Premier League clubs regarding ties to unlicensed betting sites following TGP Europe’s exit from the UK market.
• TGP Europe, a white-label gambling operator, surrendered its UK licence and was fined £3.3 million for regulatory breaches, including weak anti-money-laundering controls.
• The affected clubs—Newcastle, Fulham, Bournemouth, Wolves, and Burnley—must confirm due diligence and implement geo-blocking to prevent UK consumers from accessing the sites.
• Club officials face potential prosecution, fines, or imprisonment if they promote unlicensed betting businesses accessible to British consumers.
• The regulator will conduct immediate and ongoing spot checks to ensure compliance and protect consumers from gambling-related harm.
