Ladbrokes Coral agrees to pay penalty over failings in dealing with problem gamblers

Ladbrokes Coral has agreed to a £2.3 million penalty package in the UK for failings which saw two high-spending customers gamble away around £1.3 million of stolen money.

The company was sanctioned by the UK's Gambling Commission after an investigation into sub-brand Gala Interactive found "significant flaws" in the way it deals with punters displaying problem gambling behaviour.
