Online gambling operator Genesis Global has had its UK operating license suspended due to “a number of compliance issues.”

On Monday, the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) announced that it had commenced a review of Genesis Global Ltd’s UK-facing operations under section 116(2)(a) of the Gambling Act 2005, which allows the UKGC to review the operations of any licensee it suspects of being unsuitable to carry on the activities permitted under its license.

The UKGC said it suspects that Genesis Global has breached section 116(2)(a) and thus considers it appropriate to immediately suspend UK-facing activity on 12 Genesis Global sites — casoola.com, casinoplanet.com, kassu.com, casinocruise.com, casinogods.com, casinojoy.com, genesiscasino.com, pelaa.com, sloty.com, spela.com, spinit.com and vegashero.com. — pending the conclusion of its review. 

The UKGC has instructed Genesis Global to allow customers of these sites to access their accounts for the purpose of withdrawing their accounts balances. The UKGC has also advised customers not to place any bets through these sites.
