Company suspended by gambling commission

The UK Gambling Commission has decided to suspend the operating licence of BetIndex Ltd (t/a Football Index) pursuant to section 118(2) of the Gambling Act 2005.

The suspension follows an ongoing section 116 review into the operator, as the commission had concerns activities may have been carried on in purported reliance on the licence, but not in accordance with a condition of the licence, and that Football Index may not be suitable to carry on with licensed activities.

It said: “We have made it clear to the operator that as the investigation progresses, we expect it to focus on treating consumers fairly and keeping them fully informed of any developments which impact them.

“Football Index can be contacted via their website and as part of our review we continue to work closely with colleagues from the Jersey Gambling Commission.”

The Gambling Commission will not comment any further whilst this investigation is ongoing.
