“The player was flagged as potentially high-risk by the operator’s systems on multiple occasions, including due to incurring significant losses and making repeated withdrawal cancellations. “In this case, a player lost over $500,000 in under three months,” the regulator said. PointsBet’s Canadian arm allegedly failed to “appropriately intervene and provide assistance” to a player who was potentially harming themselves with their gambling, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) charged Thursday in a press release. The regulator of online sports betting and casino gambling in Canada’s most populous province has hit PointsBet with a $150,000 fine over accusations of responsible gambling mistakes.
