    Matchbook

    As of 23.59 tonight the Matchbook exchange will "temporarily" have their betting licence suspended in the UK.

    Yes I received that email, bit vague though.
    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution

    It;s extremely rare the UKGC suspend or revoke licenses, this will be something pretty serious. I'll take a wild guess at responsible gaming or money laundering concerns.

    just seen that - looks like my wild guess was wild
    Having said that, I can't actually see anything in there that would cause a LCCP breach, unless it was AML rules.

    What are the likely reasons for losing a licence?

    I am beginning to wonder if they will survive this.
    I have been using them because I don't like having all my eggs in one basket but they were only a bit player in my opinion.
    I have about £100 in there think I might withdraw it and put it to use elsewhere.

    I would withdraw, you can easily put it back if they re-open!
