Multi-channel supplier BetConstruct has said that it is going to challenge the status quo in the UK supply chain now that it has been granted a Combined Remote Operating Licence by the UK Gambling Commission.

Vahe Baloulian, BetConstruct CEO, commented: “The Combined Remote Operating Licence by the UK Gambling Commission widens the path for BetConstruct to one of the most important gaming and betting markets – the United Kingdom. Although this market is mature and somewhat saturated, we believe what BetConstruct has to offer is quite unique and can be the differentiator the operators are looking for.

“Being headquartered in the UK, we have studied this market for a long time now. We look forward to challenging the status quo there with the new technologies and services we have developed in recent years.”

This licence adds to BetConstruct’s licences granted by the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gambling Authority and other jurisdictions which all allow BetConstruct to help its partners meet necessary requirements for operating in different regions.

It’s been a busy month for the UK regulator, which has just announced Tim Miller will be joining as Executive Director with oversight of corporate affairs, stakeholder engagement and our evidence and analysis team. Miller is currently Head of Policy and Communications at the Local Government Ombudsman and will be joining the Commission at the end of August.

Chief Executive Sarah Harrison said: “I am delighted to welcome Tim to the Gambling Commission leadership team. He brings excellent communications, policy and research expertise to the Commission’s vital work to help keep gambling fair, safe and free from crime.”

Meanwhile the Commission has revealed that Blue Riband Gaming and Leisure Limited, trading as  Blue Riband Bet, is no longer operating and has surrendered its operating licence and personal management licences. The boutique bookmaker had been overseen by a former management team from Marathonbet.
