Betway has to pony up $20,000 for violations related to vendor registration and responsible gambling policies in Virginia.

According to the report posted by the Virginia Lottery, in May of this year, Betway accidentally communicated to a group of self-excluded individuals about “account technology issues and account creation”. Six of those individuals were on the Virginia Lottery’s self-exclusion list, while another 94 were on Betway’s internal list of individuals who were either self-excluding or on a cooling-off period.
