In Touch Games today informed players it has taken the decision to surrender its UK licenses.

Posting on its website In Touch said: We regret to inform you that we have taken the difficult decision to surrender our licence with immediate effect and you will no longer be able to deposit and use our services.

On September 2nd The UK Gambling Commission had suspended the operating licences of In Touch Games Limited as it carries out a review under section 116 of the Gambling Act 2005 (the Act).

The review and consequent suspension follows concerns that activities may have been carried out contrary to the Act, not in accordance with conditions of their licence and that the Licensee may be unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities. It is suspected the operator failed to follow licence conditions related to money laundering, fair and transparent terms and practices, and reporting key events.

In accordance with section 118 (2) of the Act the Commission has determined to suspend the above operating licence.

We have made it clear to the operator that during the course of the suspension we expect it to focus on treating consumers fairly and keeping them fully informed of any developments which impact them.

The suspension does not prevent the operator from allowing consumers to access their accounts and withdrawing funds. The suspension takes place immediately.
