Alderney suspends Metro Play License; 666Bet loses Leyton Orient Sponsorship

Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) joins UK in suspending Metro Play Limited license, which covers both the Metroplay.com and 666bet.com sites.

On March 20, AGCC Executive Director André Wilsenach issued a hearing notice to Metro Play Limited and suspended its operations immediately.

Due to the suspension, Metro Play and its business associates can no longer register any new customers or accept deposits from existing customers and are required to process all customer withdrawals immediately on request.

“The grounds for the decision to call the licensee to a hearing of the Commission and to suspend its license relate largely to serious concerns about the existing control and management of Metro Play,” said Wilsenach. “It would not have been in the interest of customers, the eGambling industry or the reputation of Alderney to allow Metro Play to continue its operations.”
