Betsoft Gaming hit by Alderney licence suspension
Casino supplier told to pull online products after its parent company is issued with Hearing Notice
Betsoft Gaming has had its licence suspended by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC), pending a hearing involving the company and the regulator.
AGCC executive director Andre Wilsenach issued the Suspension Notice under Regulation 91 of the Alderney eGambling Regulations to Betsoft’s parent company Digitus last week, ordering it to pull its gambling software from Alderney-licenced operators.
Regulation 91 of Alderney’s regulations allows for an immediate suspension of a licence should the seriousness and urgency of the matter require immediate action.
The AGCC confirmed that a regulatory hearing is to take place “in due course”, with Betsoft banned from reinstating its content until the Suspension Notice is cancelled or the AGCC has reached a verdict on the supplier.
Betsoft Gaming announced a new deal with sports betting solutions provider SBTech just two days before the licence suspension was issued. Last year Betsoft secured deals with the likes of Amaya Gaming and Boylesports.
The last supplier to have faced similar action from the AGCC was Sheriff Gaming, which had its licence suspended in September last year before eventually filing for bankruptcy five months later.
Betsoft Gaming could not be contacted for comment at the time of writing.
