UKGC suspends seven adult gaming centre licences over self-exclusion

Enforcement & compliance

The UK Gambling Commission said it suspended the operating licences of seven adult gaming centre operators during 2025 for failing to belong to a self-exclusion scheme. Most licences have since been reinstated after remedial steps, but all the operators remain under investigation. Chief executive Andrew Rhodes said the regulator had written to all licensed centres earlier in the year to remind them of their obligations.

The suspensions and continuing investigations signal enforcement exposure for adult gaming centre operators that fail self-exclusion requirements.
