Comment on UK Gambling Commission charges Sorare with unlicensed gambling

UK Gambling Commission charges Sorare with unlicensed gambling

The UK Gambling Commission has charged online fantasy sports game Sorare with providing unlicensed gambling services. The French company is due to appear in court on October 4. The UK Gambling Commission doesn’t often level charges against companies and this particular case is three years in the making. Since its conception in 2005, the commission has only leveled charges against one other entity, although it did launch an investigation into four politicians earlier this year. “Football-themed website Sorare.com is due to appear in court next week charged with providing unlicensed gambling facilities to consumers in Britain,” reads the short announcement from the commission, stating that it will not be commenting on the case further. Sorare denies the charges and plans to challenge them in court.
