E-Gaming Firm Surrenders Manx Gambling Licence

An E-Gaming firm has surrendered its Isle of Man online gambling licence.

Celton Manx, the license holding entity for SBObet and various of its online presences, has surrendered its Isle of Man license.

The company is no longer listed in the register of licensees maintained by the island’s regulator, the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC).

Instead, its name is now placed on the register of previous licensees also maintained by the GSC.

Surrenders Licence

Frank Schuengel has reported in the Asia Gaming Brief that “SBObet was one of the early online gambling licensing pioneers on the Isle of Man and its operating company, Celton Manx, has been an active supporter of many charitable organizations and community events over the years.

He added: “It is uncertain at this time if the company is planning to leave the island entirely or will remain based in the jurisdiction, where it owns its own office building on the outskirts of Douglas, the capital city of the Isle of Man.

“Celton Manx did also operate a live casino facility from its headquarter, but it is understood that this may have been closed some time ago due to staffing issues.”

Manx.News has contacted the GSC for comment.
