Scored on the register alone. Safer gambling tool coverage and RTP disclosure are only counted for operators we have tested directly, and this one has not been tested yet, so those weights are excluded rather than guessed. How the score works

The enforcement component carries the most weight and it is what moves this figure: £28,750 in penalties across 1 decision published since September 2023, weighted towards the most recent. 11 years of licensed operation gives partial credit on tenure, which reaches full marks at fifteen. No licence has been revoked, so licence standing is unaffected.

What the Gambling Commission has published about DK Crown Holdings Inc

Each entry below is a published decision, reproduced from the Commission's register of regulatory actions as read on 11 August 2026. Wording is the Commission's, not ours.

This is not the company's full enforcement history. The Commission withdraws a decision from the register three years after it is published, so what appears here — and every total on this page — covers decisions from September 2023 onwards. Penalties issued before then, including some of the largest in the Commission's history, are no longer on the register and are not counted. How this window affects the score.

12 September 2024

Sanction: £28,750

Financial penalty

Following an investigation into a key event submission by DK Crown Holdings Inc (“the Licensee”), the Gambling Commission (“the Commission”) found that the Licensee breached: Social Responsibility Code Provision (“SRCP”) 3.5.3(1) – Self-exclusion The failure to comply with a SRCP is a breach of a licence condition by virtue of section 82(1) of the Gambling Act 2005 (“the Act”). In line with the Commission’s Licensing, compliance and enforcement policy statement and the Statement of principles for determining financial penalties, the Commission has decided to impose a financial penalty of £28,750 under section 121(1) of the Act. Commission Officials note that the Licensee identified the breach and proactively reported it to the Commission. The Licensee took immediate remedial action to address the identified issues and co-operated with the Commission throughout the investigation. The Commission also notes that the SRCP breach relates to a specific exceptional issue and that the Licensee’s self-exclusion procedures, in general, continued to operate.

Common questions about DK Crown Holdings Inc

Is DK Crown Holdings Inc licensed in the UK?

Not currently. DK Crown Holdings Inc appears on the register with 2 licence records, but none is active, so it is not permitted to offer gambling to British players at present.

Has DK Crown Holdings Inc been fined by the Gambling Commission?

1 regulatory action is currently published against it, decided since September 2023 and totalling £28,750. The most recent was decided on 12 September 2024 and recorded as a sanction of £28,750. Sanctions and settlements stay on the Commission's register for three years from publication, so that figure is what the register carries today and not the company's entire enforcement history — older penalties, including some very large ones, have been withdrawn from the register and are not counted here. The Commission's own wording for each decision is reproduced above.

Who do I complain to about DK Crown Holdings Inc?

Start with the operator in writing. If it is unresolved after eight weeks, or you disagree with its final response, the complaint goes to the alternative dispute resolution provider it is signed up to, free of charge. The Gambling Commission does not settle individual disputes and cannot recover your money, though it does use complaint patterns to drive compliance work.

How is the Safety Record score for DK Crown Holdings Inc calculated?

From three inputs in the public register, weighted 55 for enforcement burden, 25 for licence standing and 20 for licence tenure, normalised to a mark out of 100. DK Crown Holdings Inc scores 61. Safer gambling tool coverage and RTP disclosure are only counted where we have tested a site directly; this operator has not been tested, so those weights are excluded rather than guessed at. No commercial arrangement can change the figure.
