The bookmaker William Hill could be fined after it emerged that it submitted incorrect data to the Gambling Commission. But in an update published on 23 December, the regulator said it had discovered that William Hill provided “incorrect datapoints” for the 16 months between March 2020 and September 2021. The commission said it was now “reviewing any regulatory consequences of William Hill’s failure to submit accurate data”. The risk of a penalty comes as William Hill’s UK operation is in the process of a £2.2bn sale, after London-listed 888 Holdings bought it from the US casino operator Caesars Entertainment. The Guardian has approached William Hill for comment.
