According to the regulator, a Top Sport player violated the law on gambling in Lithuania by using someone else’s payment card to deposit €14,965 into his account with the operator. The law stipulates that licensed operators can only accept non-cash deposits from the registered customer’s account, not from third parties. The breach was in violation of Article 205, paragraph 1 of the Law on Gambling of the Lithuanian Gambling Act.
The regulator noted that the decision is subject to appeal and is not yet final. This is the second fine imposed on Top Sport, as they were previously fined €25,000 for sending emails to customers promoting their gambling services, including their mobile apps and website. Such promotional activities are prohibited under Lithuanian law, and the operator was found to have breached national regulations.
