The Gambling Commission has suspended the remote operating licence of Nektan (Gibraltar), the British-facing B2C arm of the gambling business that was sold by administrators in early 2020.
The B2C Nektan business was licensed to operate remote bingo and casino at sites.

The regulator added that it suspected the business was “[…] unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities, and that the licensed activities are being or have been carried on in a manner which is inconsistent with the licensing objectives”.
