UKGC suspends Spribe's operating licence over game-hosting authorisation

Enforcement & compliance

The UK Gambling Commission suspended Spribe's operating licence on 30 October over its provision of remote casino game hosting without a specific hosting licence, according to reports.

Spribe said it was preparing an application and that player account access and withdrawals were unaffected.

The suspension requires Spribe to halt hosting, affecting the availability of its games in the UK market.
