The regulator indefinitely suspended Genesis’ licence in July, as it reviewed its operating activities. However, the operator plans to appeal the decision. Genesis was forced to cease activity across 12 domains, including Genesis Casino, Casino Cruise, and Casino Gods. Now, following the lifting of the suspension, Genesis can accept customers across all brands again.
The Commission cited sections 116(2)(a) and 116(2)(c)(i) of the Gambling Act when launching its review of Genesis’ activities. Section 116(2)(a) allows the regulator to commence a review if activities were carried out in reliance on the license but not in accordance with its conditions. Section 116(2)(c)(i) enables the Commission to review a licensee if it believes the licensee may be unsuitable for the licensed activities.
Genesis stated that the suspension resulted from a routine compliance assessment by the Commission in July. The operator considers the suspension to be disproportionate and inconsistent with the Commission’s previous regulatory enforcement actions on other operators.
