Crash game developer Spribe has had its software licence suspended by the Gambling Commission with immediate effect. 

The Gambling Commission said the licence suspension was due to “serious non-compliance with the hosting requirements of our licensing framework”.

Spribe has been licensed as gambling software provider in the UK since December 2020.

“We have clearly communicated to the operator that all hosting activity must stop immediately unless and until a suitable hosting licence is obtained,” said the Commission in a statement Thursday.

“The Gambling Commission takes a robust approach to unlicensed gambling activity and always expects the highest standards of compliance and integrity from its licensees.”

Spribe’s licence has been suspended under section 118(2) of the Gambling Act 2005, which allows the Gambling Commission to suspend an operating licence at the time of deciding to conduct a review.
