Trustpilot has hosted review pages for unlicensed casino brands such as MyStake, Velobet and Goldenbet, presenting them like legitimate businesses and drawing criticism from MPs and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The company says it removed thousands of profiles and affiliate pages that breached policy but maintains it does not verify business legitimacy and continues to adapt enforcement. Regulators warn the spread of unlicensed operators harms vulnerable gamblers, undermines self-exclusion schemes and is the focus of a new illegal gambling taskforce. » More on theguardian.com
