The UK Gambling Commission has begun a review of Evolution Malta Holding’s operating licence.
This was initiated after the Commission identified Evolution games being accessible from the UK through operators not holding a Commission licence.
The review can have a range of outcomes, which include no action being required, conditions being imposed on the licence, financial sanction, suspension and revocation of the licence to operate.
Evolution declared that it is “co-operating fully with the Commission and has taken requested immediate actions to remedy the situation. Games on the identified websites not holding a Commission licence have been made unavailable from the UK.”
“Evolution embraces the objectives of the review by the Commission,” said Martin Carlesund, CEO of Evolution. “We are committed to support the licensed UK market as well as preventing unlicensed traffic.
“We are now taking forceful action using all technical tools available to us to ensure that our games only are available in the UK through Commission licensed operators. We believe that a close collaboration to address our joint concerns will lead to swifter and better results. As always, we remain committed to an open and transparent relationship with our regulators.”
