Genesis Global has had its licence to operate in Great Britain suspended by the Gambling Commission due to “a number of compliance issues.”

Gambling Commission

The company, which offers gambling services in the country through sites including Casino Planet, Spela, Vegas Hero and Genesis Casino, cannot operate while a review takes place.

The Commission said: “We suspect that Genesis Global Limited has breached a condition of the licence (section 116(2)(a) of the Act)) and is unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities (section 116(2)(c)(i)) of the Act). We therefore consider it appropriate to suspend the licence with immediate effect pending the conclusion of the review.”

The operator has been instructed to enable customers to access accounts and withdraw funds, while advising players not to place any bets through the affected websites.
