The failures allowed customers to deposit large amounts before Star Sports obtained source of funds information, and the operator also failed to analyze the source of funds information when it was obtained.
Social responsibility failures included not demonstrating an understanding of the impact and effectiveness of customer interactions in terms of the minimization of customer risk, noted the regulator.
