Summary

What This Means for Consumers

This action removes a non-compliant individual from a position of responsibility within the gambling industry. It doesn't directly affect a specific gambling operator but reinforces the regulator's standards for key personnel.

Full Details

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has revoked the personal management licence held by Johnson Glenn William. The decision, made on 6 June 2023, followed a formal review of his suitability to hold a licence. A personal licence is required for individuals in senior management roles at gambling companies, ensuring they meet the industry's standards for conduct and integrity.

The investigation found that Johnson Glenn William breached the conditions of his licence on two separate grounds. He didn't notify the Commission of his dismissal for gross misconduct, a key event that must be reported within ten working days. He also failed to inform the regulator that he was subject to a criminal investigation for an offence listed under Schedule 7 of the Gambling Act 2005. The UKGC determined that these failures were serious enough to warrant a full Licence Revocation under section 119(1) of the Gambling Act 2005.
