The research highlights how the pandemic might see gambling operators rack more fines in the coming year. According to the research report:

“In 2020, the coronavirus lockdown meant that most casinos had to turn most of their businesses online as physical meetings were banned. Regulators will be keen to determine if the shifting of operation online adhered to laid down laws. The fines might come at a later stage since investigations into such violations take time.”
