The UK Gambling Commission has suspended 666Bet’s licence on an interim basis while it reviews the operator’s status.
The Commission refused to add to its statement saying it had “commenced a review under section 116 of the Gambling Act 2005 (the Act) and, under section 118 of the Act, has decided to suspend Operating Licence No 000-039112-R-319435 -001 (Metro Play Limited) while that review takes place.
“The Commission has decided to commence a review because it suspects that Metro Play Limited (the Licensee) is unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities (section 120(1)(d) of the Act) and considers it appropriate to suspend the licence with immediate effect pending the conclusion of the review.”
666Bet launched in June 2014 onto the UK online betting market and recently acquired the MetroPlay casino website from the British news group Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT).
It recently migrated its betting and gaming platofrms to Betconstruct and Everymatrix and has also agreed advertising deals with English Premier League tier football clubs Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion.
