Two investigations were conducted in April 2022 involving BetCity sending promotional emails to teenagers, which were fined €40,000 for violating Dutch law.

The second investigation, launched in May 2022, cited shortcomings in anti-money laundering and terrorist financing measures. BetCity was fined €3 million for these failures.

The plaintiffs emphasize in their counterclaim that in November and December 2022, the BetCity team informed Entain of the ongoing investigation in several messages.

This included emails, phone calls, and meetings on November 17, 2022, regarding two investigations conducted between the signing of the acquisition agreement in June 2022 and the completion of the transaction in January 2023.

According to anti-consumer filings, Entain is also understood to have made clear in a letter on December 10, 2022 that he was concerned about the two investigations.
