Correction, 16 October 2026. The report now includes the lifting of the suspension and accurately describes what the September decision covered.
The Gambling Commission suspended Targetlocal Ltd's remote operating licence on 21 September 2026 after enquiries revealed anti-money laundering failings. The business trades as Ken Howell's Sports Betting and runs kenhowells.com.
The notice said customers could still be allowed to access accounts and withdraw funds during the suspension. It also said the non-remote betting licence was unaffected. Describing the decision as a blanket ban on all customer access would therefore be misleading.
Update, 13 October: the Commission lifted the suspension after significant action by the operator. This later development is included so readers do not mistake September's decision for the current position.
The earlier edition also contained an unverified game-launch date and unsupported market claims. Those have been removed.
