The Lithuanian Gaming Authority has fined the lottery operator UAB New Miracle for allegedly violating regulations pertaining to money laundering and terrorist financing.
The authority investigated the operator for 2019-2020 and found that it did not properly vet or identify customers and failed to check that players had valid ID when they registered.
UAB New Miracle also did not have internal policies or control to prevent money laundering and terrorist funding, said the Authority.
The lottery operator has been fined $12,000 and given until June 7 to make the required changes to its operations.
