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
Nothing is currently published against this company, so the enforcement component is intact. 12 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 No licence has been revoked, so licence standing is unaffected.
