Evolution has been informed by the U.K. Gambling Commission that it has commenced a review of Evolution Malta Holding Limited’s operating license under Section 116 of the Gambling Act 2005. This review was initiated after the Commission identified Evolution games being accessible from the U.K. through operators not holding a Commission license.
The review could result in a range of outcomes, including no action, conditions being imposed on the license, financial sanctions, suspension, or revocation of the license to operate.
Evolution is fully cooperating with the Commission and has taken immediate actions to remedy the situation. Games on the identified websites not holding a Commission license have been made unavailable from the UK. Evolution continues to actively work with the Commission to resolve this matter.
Approximately 3% of Evolution’s revenue comes from the U.K. market.
Martin Carlesund, CEO of Evolution, stated: “Evolution embraces the objectives of the review by the Commission. We are committed to supporting the licensed UK market as well as preventing unlicensed traffic. We are now taking forceful action using all technical tools available to us to ensure that our games are only available in the UK through Commission licensed operators. We believe that a close collaboration to address our joint concerns will lead to swifter and better results. As always, we remain committed to an open and transparent relationship with our regulators.”
