The money will be donated to charity causes by the operator as part of a settlement with the Commission in the UK market.

A section 116 regulatory examination of Blue Star Planet was begun on September 7, 2021, as a result of an investigation.

The regulatory examination discovered flaws in Blue Star Planet's systems for preventing money laundering (ML) and protecting the vulnerable. These concerns were detected during a compliance examination conducted by Commission Officials on June 22, 23, 24, and 25, 2021.

Between November 2019 and June 2021, Blue Star Planet breached various licence requirements and standards of conduct.

Throughout the examination and subsequent regulatory review, failures in Blue Star Planet Limited's implementation of anti-money laundering (AML) policies, processes, and controls were discovered. It also uncovered flaws in how it implemented responsible gambling policies, regulations, procedures, and processes.

Between November 2019 and June 2021, Blue Star Planet violated licence criteria such as the implementation of anti-money laundering procedures, according to the Commission.

Blue Star Planet Limited was then ordered by the regulator to pay £620,000 as a settlement in lieu of a fine, which will be used to benefit charity causes. The business is also ordered to pay £3,571.25 towards the Commission's investigating costs.
