A subsidiary of a Manx-based egaming company has been fined £350,000 in the UK for breaching advertising codes.

Electraworks, which runs GVC Holdings' bwin sports betting site, was fined by the UK's Gambling Commission.

It was also given a warning over advertising bonus bets on its website in breach of the Committee of Advertising Practice code.

The commission says it took action after eight incidents in 2016 and 2017.
