Fines and regulator actions
All 3 actions in our data concern Skill On Net Limited, BacanaPlay's own operator. In June 2019 Spelinspektionen warned the company and fined it SEK 14 million because self-excluded players could still gamble. In May 2023 the company paid £305,150 to the UK Gambling Commission instead of a penalty, over 2021-2022 failures in money-laundering and safer-gambling checks; one finding was that players went past the firm's own £2,000 cap on unverified deposits. In November 2025 Sweden added a remark over missing responsible-gambling logos and information.
