The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has suspended the operating license of online casino operator Genesis Global, with immediate effect. 

Malta-based Genesis Global operates in the UK via brands including Casoola.com, Casinoplanet.com, Kassu.com, Casinocruise.com, Casinogods.com, Casinojoy.com, Genesiscasino.com, Pelaa.com, Sloty.com, Spela.com, Spinit.com and Vegashero.com.

According to the UKGC, earlier today (Tuesday 21 July 2020), it began a review of Genesis Global’s license under sections 116 and 118 of the Gambling Act 2005. 

In a statement, the UKGC said:

“We suspect that Genesis Global Limited has breached a condition of the licence (section 116(2)(a) of the Act)) and is unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities (section 116(2)(c)(i)) of the Act). We therefore consider it appropriate to suspend the licence with immediate effect pending the conclusion of the review.

“We have instructed the operator to facilitate customers accessing their accounts to withdraw funds and advise customers not to place any bets through the above websites.”
