UK Gambling Commission suspends second license in a row

Posted in Casino News by • 66 Comments

As the UK Gambling Commission has come under increasing fire for being seen as ‘weak’, the regulatory body in the UK has decided to fight back. Part of that fightback has stemmed from their desire to try and stop licenses being handed out to companies that don’t meet their increasingly high standards.

Having gained a reputation for turning to fines ahead of anything else, though, the UKGC is getting tough. Fresh from hitting Betway with a massive £11.6m fine, the company has also suspended the second license in just two weeks.

They’ve decided to take a review of Stakers, a popular Malta-based online platform. They have started a review to look at what is allegedly numerous compliance issues from the company. Under the Gambling Act 2005, then, the company could stand to lose their license. This means that the company cannot provide its services to UK customers until it can either win the case or find a solution with the UKGC.

The regulator’s review is expected to start now, with the suspension starting as early as March 4th. At the moment, though, information is thin on the ground as to why the UKGC has decided to cut the license and suspend it. all we know that is they suspect Stakers has broken Section 116 (2)(a) of the Gambling Act 2005, meaning they cannot carry on their service in the UK until a resolution is found. For now, then, any UK gamer who is used to using Stakers might need to look for a new casino site.

  2. I oversee a vape store directory site and we have had a listing from a vape shop in the USA that likewise offers for sale CBD product lines. A Month later on, PayPal has written to use to claim that our account has been limited and have requested us to get rid of PayPal as a payment method from our vape store directory site. We do not retail CBD goods such as CBD oil. We simply offer web marketing professional services to CBD companies. I have had a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Reputable Health and wellness Merchant and if you take a good peek, you will witness that they supply a pretty substantial range of CBD goods, specifically CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement method. It seems that PayPal is applying double standards to many different firms. Due to this constraint, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related website. This has restrained my payment choices and right now, I am intensely dependent on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. I have talked with a barrister from a Magic Circle law firm in London and they said that what PayPal is undertaking is completely unlawful and discriminatory as it ought to be applying a systematic criterion to all firms. I am yet to get in touch with another lawyer from a US law office in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. Meanwhile, I would be highly appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could offer me with different payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD companies.
