Betsoft Gaming has licence suspended

Betsoft Gaming have had their licence suspended.

Betsoft Gaming has been issued a suspension notice by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, for an undisclosed offence.

Betsoft Gaming, which is part of Digitus Ltd, was issued a hearing notice by André Wilsenach, the executive director of the AGCC.

The notice was given under regulation 90 of the Alderney e-gambling regulations to the company and has issued the suspension notice under regulation 91, requiring it to suspend operations immediately.

Speaking to InterGameonline.com, Wilsenach said: “I have sufficient grounds to believe that Digitus is no longer suitable to hold a certificate and therefore to provide services to our Category 1 licensees under their certificate.”

He added: “Hence the reason for my decision to call a regulatory hearing and to suspend their certificate immediately. This is now a matter for the Commission who will conduct a regulatory hearing to decide on the future of Digitus.”

Until the suspension notice is either cancelled or the Commissioners of the AGCC have reached a determination at the conclusion of the hearing, the company must stop offering gambling-specific software to category 1 e-gaming licensees, category 2 e-gaming licencees and category 2 associate certificate holders.

The date for the hearing has reportedly been set.

Betsoft has been licensed by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission since 2012 and supplies its software products to firms such as Boylesports, PokerStars, Full Tilt, and the Amaya Gaming Group.

It is not the first time a 3D software company has run into trouble with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. In September 2013, Sheriff Gaming had its Category 2 Associate Certificate suspended before having their license officially revoked in February.
