Pinnacle abandons attempt to licence in the UK

Malta-licensed online betting operator and B2B platform supplier Pinnacle has taken to social media to announce that it has abandoned its attempt to obtain UK licensing from the Gambling Commission.

The company had planned a 2017 launch for UK operations but was unable to achieve this due to delays in its application review.

In a brief notice the company advised that whilst it was “eager” to enter the UK market, “the decision has been made that now is not the right time.”

The advisory goes on to assure UK players that it remains committed to bringing its services to the UK “when the time is right.”
