[$$] William Hill falls 12% on report government to back maximum FOBT cut
fell as much as 12 per cent in early trading on Tuesday after a report the UK Treasury would back a cut in the maximum bet for fixed odds betting terminals to £2 within weeks. The Times newspaper reported that Philip Hammond, the British chancellor, had accepted recommendations from experts that the stake be cut to the minimum level being considered by a government review, despite a likely fall in tax revenue from the move.

While Australia is the world's second-largest regulated sports betting market, bookmakers have come under pressure from a ban on them offering or extending credit to customers.

The retreat from Australia could raise further questions about William Hill's future after it missed out on a round of consolidation in its home market.

UK bookmaker William Hill fined for money laundering failures
British bookmaker William Hill will pay 6.2 million pounds ($8.7 million) as a penalty for breaching anti-money laundering and social responsibility regulations, the Gambling Commission said on Tuesday. Failure in the company's checks meant that 10 customers deposited large sums linked to criminal offences, resulting in gains for William Hill of around 1.2 million pounds, it said. "This was a systemic failing at William Hill which went on for nearly two years and today's penalty package – which could exceed 6.2 million pounds - reflects the seriousness of the breaches," the Commission said.
