Gambling Commission suspends VGC Leeds casino licences

Enforcement & compliance

The Gambling Commission suspended VGC Leeds Limited’s remote and land-based casino licences and its land-based bingo licence on 31 October, requiring the operator to halt all operations. The regulator cited anti-money laundering control failures and concerns about governance and risk management, and said the suspension would remain while it reviewed the company’s suitability to hold casino licences.

The suspension requires VGC Leeds to stop casino and bingo operations while the regulator assesses its suitability.
