About Blue Star Planet Limited

Blue Star Planet Limited is an online casino operator headquartered in Malta, with its office located at Dragonara Business Centre, St. Julians. The company was established on June 5, 2015, and operates under the regulatory jurisdiction of the UK Gambling Commission. The operator's main online casino site is 10bet Casino, which also offers sports betting services. The company is licensed under the UK Gambling Commission, with the license number 43173, and its management team includes Roger Strickland, Valentin Dikov, and Tsvetan Yordanov Petkov.

Despite its regulatory license, Blue Star Planet Limited has faced scrutiny due to compliance failures. A regulatory review conducted by the UK Gambling Commission in 2021 revealed several issues related to the operator's approach to preventing money laundering and protecting vulnerable customers. The investigation, which took place from June 22 to 25, 2021, uncovered deficiencies in meeting the required standards outlined in the UK Gambling Commission's License Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). These issues included failures to implement proper money laundering prevention measures, adhere to anti-terrorist financing regulations, and meet certain social responsibility standards, particularly in customer interaction and harm prevention.

As a result of these findings, Blue Star Planet Limited was subject to regulatory action in February 2023. While the company was not fined, it agreed to pay €620,000 in lieu of a financial penalty. The payment also covered the Commission's investigation costs. The company has since taken remedial actions to address the identified shortcomings and improve its processes in line with the Commission's expectations.

Today, Blue Star Planet Limited continues to operate under its UK Gambling Commission license, offering online gambling services through 10bet Casino.
