Petition Canbet and how the Gambling Commission failed

More details

The Gambling Commission (sponsored by the department for Culture, Media and Sport) has failed to protect customers from the liquidation of the UK regulated sportsbook site Canbet.

The Commission have provided little to no communication and it is clear their is no support forthcoming. Their website is currently stating that they are unwilling to suspend the licence of Canbet or its directors.

Given the imminent law on PoC taxation requiring all bookmakers to have UK regulation, the way the Canbet situation has been handled raises questions about whether the Gambling Commission is fit for purpose.

At www.thegamblingtimes.com and www.sportsbookreview.com we are trying to assist customers who have lost money in receiving compensation from Canbet or the directors.

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION IF YOU HAVE LOST MONEY IN CANBET, OR HAVE ANY DOUBTS OVER THE GAMBLING COMMISSION AND ITS ABILITY TO PROTECT UK CUSTOMERS.
