Recently, the UK Gambling Commission has taken measures to suspend the operating license of Deadheat Racing, mainly due to suspicions of negligence in social responsibility and anti-money laundering. This is no small matter, as the regulatory body has initiated a review, and the suspension order took immediate effect, affecting the company's remote and non-remote betting operations. Deadheat has held these licenses since 2015, and now that there's a hitch, the committee emphasizes that the suspicion of violations was a key factor in the decision. Next, let's look at the specific details.
Basic Situation of the Suspension
The UK Gambling Commission directly suspended Deadheat Racing's remote and non-remote operating licenses, and the review work has already begun. The reason is that the regulatory body feels that this operator may not have performed well in social responsibility and anti-money laundering, leading to operations that do not meet licensing requirements. The suspension order took effect immediately upon issuance, which means the company must stop related activities immediately.
Review Reasons and Company Background
The committee pointed out that this action was taken due to concerns that Deadheat's mode of operation deviated from the licensing objectives, and the licensee might not be suitable to continue operations. They require the company to focus more on consumer rights during the suspension period and to promptly report any changes. On the company side, James Grassi and Antony Komui have been directors since 2012, and Christos Symeon was also a director but resigned in 2019. Deadheat's headquarters are in London, and it has been licensed for many years, but now it faces scrutiny.
Latest Developments from the Gambling Commission
Deadheat is one of the latest to be targeted, and the Gambling Commission has been busy in recent weeks, issuing several suspension and fine notices. For example, Videoslots was fined £650,000 a few days ago for anti-money laundering and social responsibility issues, and NetBet was also fined the same amount in early November. Additionally, in October, the European Commission also suspended the software license of Spribe OÜ because it did not meet hosting requirements, and the supplier said it would apply for restoration as soon as possible. It seems that regulatory efforts are continuously strengthening.
