Kenny Alexander loses civil claim against the Gambling Commission over misuse of private information
Summary
Leading owner Kenny Alexander and former GVC chair Lee Feldman have had their civil claim against the Gambling Commission dismissed at the Royal Courts of Justice. The pair alleged they suffered damage and distress due to the misuse of their private information. The dispute stemmed from a 2023 proposal for Alexander to become CEO of 888 (now Evoke), which was halted after the Gambling Commission initiated a license review due to FS Gaming Investments’ involvement. This occurred while HMRC investigated GVC’s operations in Turkey, resulting in a £615 million penalty for Entain. Alexander and Feldman are also facing bribery and fraud charges related to the HMRC investigation, with a trial scheduled for 2028.
