The Gambling Commission has defended its handling of the 888 license review after Kenny Alexander and Lee Feldman made allegations of breach of privacy, according to court filings.

The regulator has defended its handling of a regulatory review that led to the collapse of a proposed leadership shake-up at 888 Holdings, arguing in a High Court filing that it acted within its statutory duties and did not improperly disclose private information about the two former gaming executives.

The legal battle centres on the Commission’s decision to launch a license review into 888 in July 2023 after learning that Lee Feldman and Kenny Alexander, both former senior executives at GVC Holdings, now Entain, were in discussions to take on top roles at 888.
