The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has suspended the operating licenses of Deadheat Racing with immediate effect, initiating a formal review into the operator’s suitability to hold a license.
This action follows the discovery of suspected failures regarding social responsibility and anti-money laundering (AML) protocols, signaling a continued crackdown on regulatory non-compliance within the British market.
Deadheat Racing, which has been licensed since January 2015, is now prohibited from offering remote and non-remote betting services while the investigation proceeds.
The regulator has explicitly instructed the operator to prioritize customer fairness and communication during this suspension period, ensuring players are kept informed of changes affecting their accounts.
This intervention is part of a broader wave of enforcement by the Commission. Recent weeks have seen significant fines levied against operators like Videoslots and NetBet for similar breaches, as well as the suspension of software supplier Spribe OÜ.
These consistent actions underscore the regulator’s zero-tolerance approach to businesses that fail to meet the rigorous standards of the Gambling Act.
Deadheat Racing’s future now depends on its ability to demonstrate valid controls and a compliant operational culture during the review process.
