Spribe, a leading provider of gaming content, can finally resume the provision of its flagship Aviator game in the UK after the local regulator lifted the supplier’s temporary license suspension. For context, Spribe’s remote operating license was temporarily suspended due to hosting-related violations.
The License Was Suspended Due to Hosting Issues
Spribe, which is best known for its Aviator crash game, had its UK remote operating license suspended on October 30, 2025. In an official release, the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) said that the suspension was due to Spribe’s violation of the hosting requirements of the UK licensing framework.
Hosting refers to the act of indirect provision of content to operators. For example, this includes cases where a provider hosts its games on an in-house server, providing its clients’ customers with access to these products.
The UKGC stated that Spribe lacked the necessary license to engage in hosting activity, but had done so regardless, leading to the suspension of the operator’s existing remote operating license.
Spribe’s License Has Been Reinstated
Spribe previously responded to the suspension, saying that it was taking the matter very seriously. The company acknowledged its mistake, which was due to its technical setup, and vowed to obtain the necessary hosting license to operate in line with the UK regulatory framework.
It seems that the matter has now been resolved, as a new update by the UKGC states that Spribe’s license has been reinstated.
On 30 March 2026 the suspension of Spribe OÜ’s licence was lifted. The Licensee is now permitted to provide gambling facilities in reliance on its gambling software licence.

Spribe Was Fined in Sweden
At the same time, Spribe, which is also licensed in Sweden, recently found itself in hot water in that market after the local regulator learned that Spribe’s games were available on unlicensed gaming platforms.
Per Sweden’s rules, licensed providers must supply content to legal companies only. Supplying illegal operators that target the local market is considered a violation of the Swedish Gambling Act and can result in significant penalties.
However, Spribe only received a slap on the wrist in the form of a $544 penalty thanks to its cooperation with the regulator.
