About these figures
A sanction is counted in the month of the regulator's decision. The figures cover FINTRAC (Canada), IGC (Indiana (US)), IRGC (Iowa (US)), GSC (Isle of Man), FIAU (Malta), MGC (Massachusetts (US)), MGC (Missouri (US)), KSA (Netherlands), NGCB (Nevada (US)), NICC (New South Wales), Lotteritilsynet (Norway), AGCO (Ontario (Canada)), PGCB (Pennsylvania (US)), DGOJ (Spain), SWC (Tennessee (US)), UKGC (United Kingdom), FinCEN (United States), VGCCC (Victoria (Australia)); regulators that do not publish their decisions in a form we can read are not included, so this is not a total for the whole industry.
Regulators often publish a decision weeks after taking it, so the figures for a month can still rise; this page is rebuilt whenever a record is added. Last record for this month added 2026-10-06. Amounts are taken from the decisions; euro figures are converted at the European Central Bank reference rate on the date of the decision. How records are collected and checked.
