The tough regulatory action comes after the Malta Gambling Authority flagged breaches by the company.
MKC Limited is a Malta-based gambling operator that provides casino and betting options via Betworld247. In September last year, the Dutch Gaming Authority, Kansspelautoriteit, uncovered that customers in the country were able to access the operator’s website and gamble, without it holding the necessary license.
As a result, the KSA asked MKC’s Betworld247 brand to exit the regulated gambling market in the Netherlands. After warning the company with a penalty of some $100,000, the Dutch regulator confirmed that MKC discontinued its offering for customers in the Netherlands.
While this was one hiccup for the online gambling operator, it is now facing further action, this time from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Listing a series of compliance-related breaches, the MGA announced Tuesday that it has taken the decision to cancel MKC Limited’s license.
