(AsiaGameHub) – Spribe, a prominent gaming content provider, is now able to restart offering its popular Aviator game in the UK. This follows the local regulator’s decision to lift the temporary suspension of the company’s license. The suspension was initially imposed due to Spribe’s breaches related to hosting requirements.
License Suspension Attributed to Hosting Problems
Spribe, widely recognized for its Aviator crash game, experienced the suspension of its UK remote operating license on October 30, 2025. The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) officially stated that this suspension resulted from Spribe’s failure to comply with the hosting stipulations within the UK’s licensing regulations.
Hosting involves the indirect delivery of content to operators. This typically covers situations where a provider stores its games on its own servers, allowing customers of its clients to access these offerings.
The UKGC indicated that Spribe did not possess the required license for hosting activities, yet proceeded with them. This non-compliance ultimately led to the suspension of the operator’s current remote operating license.
Reinstatement of Spribe’s License
Spribe had previously addressed the suspension, asserting its serious commitment to resolving the issue. The company admitted its error, attributing it to its technical configuration, and pledged to acquire the essential hosting license to comply with the UK’s regulatory guidelines.
The situation appears to be resolved, with a recent UKGC update confirming the reinstatement of Spribe’s license.
As of 30 March 2026, the suspension on Spribe OÜ’s license has been removed. The licensee is now authorized to offer gambling services under its gambling software license.
Statement from the UKGC
Spribe Received a Fine in Sweden
Concurrently, Spribe, which also holds a license in Sweden, recently encountered regulatory issues in that jurisdiction. This occurred after the Swedish regulator discovered that Spribe’s games were accessible on unauthorized gaming platforms.
According to Swedish regulations, licensed providers are obligated to supply content exclusively to legally operating companies. Providing services to illicit operators targeting the local market constitutes a breach of the Swedish Gambling Act and may lead to substantial sanctions.
Nevertheless, Spribe was issued a relatively minor penalty of $544 due to its cooperative stance with the regulator.
