The Gambling Commission did not offer any explanation in making the announcement.
In order for an online casino to advertise freely in the UK it must be licensed either in Britain, the European Economic Area or jurisdictions on an approved "white list."
Tasmania recently joined Alderney and the Isle of Man as the only jurisdictions that have been approved for the "white list" by the Gambling Commission. Online casinos with Tasmanian licenses can begin advertising in the United Kingdom on January 31.
