The PGCB issues $73,000 Fines to its Licensees for Social Responsibility Failings

The $73,000 is the total amount that has been issued between three of the PGCB’s licensees. Live! Casino Pittsburgh has been issued with the largest fine of $30,000. This was done after the casino, which is under Stadium Casino Westmoreland Re, LLC, was discovered to have allowed two self-excluded players to enter and gamble at the gaming floor. The board also found out, through an audit, that the casino has allowed players below 21 years old to play slot machines at the casino. This is perhaps one of the most significant social responsibility failings in the online casino space.

Another company that was fined is the Parx Casino. This casino received a $18,075 fine when the board found out that it failed to submit two license renewal requests on time. The fine may seem big for such an offence, but considering that there are two failed submissions, it is only fair.

The third victim of this move by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is Love’s Travel Stops and Country Stores. This company received a $25,000 fine for not submitting its updated ownership structure to the licensing board. The company failed to submit a copy of its revised structure involving five VGT truck stop institution sites.
