A casino’s license has been reinstated after it was suspended over “serious concerns” around money laundering and terrorist financing risks.
Victoria Gate Casino in Leeds city centre was closed last month after the Gambling Commission withdrew its operating license and began a review into “significant failings”.
On Tuesday the Gambling Commission confirmed the suspension had been lifted following “significant action taken by the operator”. A spokesperson for the casino confirmed it had reopened for business on Tuesday afternoon.
The commission said the action taken had included “widespread changes to the casino’s leadership” and a commitment to undergo an independent audit within six weeks.
