CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Protos, the Web3 football game Sorare has been accused by the UK Gambling Commission of conducting unlicensed gambling.
The commission said today: "Sorare is charged with providing a gambling facility without holding an operating licence, contrary to the Gambling Act 2005. A court hearing is set for October 4."
The company disputed the allegations, saying the law was applied incorrectly. Sorare said: "The Commission has misunderstood our business and mistakenly assumed that gambling laws apply to Sorare. We categorically deny any assertion that Sorare is a gambling product under UK law."
It is reported that Sorare is a football fantasy league game that uses the Ethereum blockchain and allows players to trade football cards. [Original link]
