UKGC reports suspending seven adult gaming centre operators in 2025

Enforcement & compliance

The UK Gambling Commission said it suspended the operating licences of seven adult gaming centre operators this year for failing to participate in a self-exclusion scheme. Andrew Rhodes told a trade-body convention that most licences were later reinstated after operators addressed the issues, while all seven remained under investigation.

Operators face possible further regulatory action if investigations into self-exclusion failures lead to additional measures.
