SPRIBE's UK software licence is active again; a Game Host application is still pending

Regulatory news about a named company is the one place where second-hand reporting is worth least. So rather than summarise anyone's write-up, we opened the Gambling Commission's own register and its regulatory action record. This is what they show.

What the register shows

Licence account 57302, held by Spribe OÜ, lists two activities:

So the software licence is current. A second application, for the Game Host (Casino) activity, is recorded as an application or variation in progress.

What the regulatory action record says

The Commission's regulatory action record for this licensee records a warning, dated 12 June 2026. The stated grounds are that the licensee “had been operating without the appropriate licence between 28 May 2021 and 30 October 2025”, and that this failed to uphold the licensing objectives, particularly the prevention of crime and disorder. The record states that the Commission suspended the operating licence, and that the licensee cooperated and took corrective steps.

How to read the two together

The two activities on the register explain the phrase “the appropriate licence”. A Gambling Software licence permits supplying gambling software. A Game Host licence covers a different activity — hosting the game itself for players, rather than only supplying the software to somebody else who hosts it. They are separate permissions, and holding the first does not confer the second.

A pending Game Host application alongside an active software licence is consistent with a supplier whose model was found to need the second permission as well as the first, and which is now applying for it.

What our own record holds

We record one licence for SPRIBE: the UK Gambling Commission software licence above, at our highest tier because we opened this register entry ourselves. We record the company as live in fourteen markets, and it develops provably fair crash and casino games from Tallinn.

If you are buying

Register entries carry activity types, not just a yes or no, and the activity is what determines what a supplier may lawfully do for you. Open the entry, read the activities, and check the regulatory action list on the same regulator's site. Both are public, both take a minute, and between them they answer a question no supplier deck will.
