Sheriff Gaming has had its B2B license suspended by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) until a hearing on the 29th October in London and has told the company it must cease trading and offering their online gaming services until that time.
The suspension follows raids by Dutch police into Sheriffs parent company the Bubble Group and its owners for suspected drug dealing, illegal gambling operations and money laundering. The iGaming Post reported exclusively at the time (see report) the raids taking place and confiscating properties, vehicles and bank accounts.
The Dutch firm supplies services to operators such as Betsson, Bet 365, Gala Coral, Unibet, Microgaming BetClic and many other, but will now have to suspend these services until the hearing takes place and a final decision on the B2B license is made.
It is a major blow to Sheriff Gaming and observers question if the company can return after such serious allegations even if they have their license restored, also will so many high profile customers as the company has want to be associated with them after such an investigation? It is very bad times at present for a company that was doing so well.

Alderney issues 100th e-gambling licence
The 100th e-gambling licence has been issued by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.
The licence was granted to Relax Gaming Network Limited, a company developing and maintaining casino, bingo and poker software.
Robin Le Prevost, Alderney's head of e-commerce, said the century reaffirmed the island's status as "the place to be" for the online gambling industry.
He said the island remained at the forefront of e-gaming regulation.
Mr Le Prevost said: "The commission have got very high standards ... they're not going to lower that in anyway just to attract more numbers."
The Alderney Gambling Control Commission was established in 2000 to regulate the island's e-gaming industry on behalf of the States of Alderney.
It was involved in an investigation in to the high-profile site Full Tilt Poker last year.
The site was suspended from operating in June after a US investigation started and had its licence revoked in September after a hearing held by the commission.
Mr Le Prevost said the case had done no damage to the island's industry and claimed Alderney had received support from other jurisdictions for the way in which it had acted.
