About Triple Pot Diamond
The Commission launched its investigation into various reports of insider betting on the election date in June 2024 after Ladbrokes flagged a bet placed by Williams, who was recorded as a politically exposed person.

The offences relate to special betting markets that let customers wager on the exact date of the general election.
