The UK Gambling Commission has suspended both remote gambling licences held by Tom Horn Gaming Limited, according to the regulator's own public register. The Malta-based slots supplier's Gambling Software and Game Host (Casino) licences, both first granted on 16 October 2017, are now listed as 'Suspended' rather than 'Active'.

The register entry does not carry a decision notice or a stated reason for the suspension, and the Commission has not published a separate statement on the case. Tom Horn Gaming has not issued a public response as of 25 September 2026.

What the Register Shows

Tom Horn Gaming's public register entry lists the company's head office at Tower Business Centre in Swatar, Malta, with a single UK gambling licence account covering both permissions. Both the Gambling Software Remote licence and the Game Host (Casino) Remote licence carry the same account number, 049577-R-327138-005, and both now show a suspension with no end date recorded.

A suspension is one of several enforcement tools available to the Gambling Commission under the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). It allows the regulator to halt a licensee's activity in Great Britain while a wider review is carried out, without immediately revoking the operating permissions outright. A suspended licence can be reinstated if the Commission is satisfied concerns have been addressed, or it can lead to revocation.

A B2B Supplier with a Near Decade-Long UK Presence

Tom Horn Gaming is a business-to-business slots studio that has supplied games to UK-facing casino brands since 2017, alongside licences from other regulators including Malta and Romania. As a software supplier rather than a consumer-facing operator, its games are typically distributed through partner casinos rather than sold directly to players, meaning any UK licence action affects the operators that carry its content as much as the studio itself.

The suspension follows a pattern the Commission has used before with other software and platform providers while it examines compliance with licence conditions. Similar action was taken against VGC Leeds in 2025, when the operator's remote licences were suspended pending a money laundering review.

What Happens Next

Casinos.com has contacted the Gambling Commission for further comment and will update this story if a public statement or decision notice is issued. Until then, UK operators carrying Tom Horn Gaming content will need to review their own compliance position, since content from a supplier with suspended remote licences cannot legally be offered to British customers while the suspension remains in place.

Players and operators can check the current status of any UK licensee directly via the Gambling Commission's public register, which is updated as regulatory actions are recorded.

The register lists only a single premises entry against the account and no trading names, suggesting Tom Horn Gaming's UK footprint runs entirely through its remote software licences rather than any land-based presence. That makes the practical effect of the suspension largely invisible to consumers, who would typically encounter the studio's games branded under the operator's own casino site rather than under the Tom Horn Gaming name itself.
