Evolution has agreed a GBP 4.75 million (ca. EUR 5.6 million) settlement with the UK Gambling Commission. The Evolution UK settlement brings to an end a licence review that began in December 2024. The company said it remains focused on supplying games to licensed operators in the UK while continuing to strengthen its compliance measures.

• The settlement relates to Evolution game content being available through two operators on six websites that offered games to British consumers without a UK licence. According to the company, this breached its supply terms and the operators actively worked around existing restrictions. During the 18-month review, no wider pattern of unlicensed access to Evolution content in the UK was identified.
• Evolution said it fully cooperated with the UK Gambling Commission throughout the review process. The company also stated that it regularly takes technical, legal and commercial action to prevent unauthorised access to its games. The commercial relationships with the two operators involved were ended as soon as the issue was discovered.
• The Evolution UK settlement also follows further investment in compliance controls. Evolution said it has introduced stronger ring-fencing measures and continues to improve its internal procedures. The company noted that while no system can completely prevent third parties from trying to bypass controls, it will continue investing in compliance standards.
• CEO Martin Carlesund said: “At Evolution, we always want to do what is right, and it is not acceptable that six unlicensed sites offered Evolution content in the regulated UK market.” He added that the company does not want traffic from unlicensed operators and will continue acting quickly if similar situations arise. The Evolution UK settlement closes the review as the company continues working with licensed UK operators.
