Genesis Casino: Closed — Genesis Global Collapse & Options
Last reviewed July 2026
Genesis Casino
This brand has shut down. The record below explains what happened and points to licensed UK alternatives.
Genesis Casino was the flagship brand of Genesis Global Limited and one of the better-known UK-facing casinos of its era. This page records the brand and its closure; it is no longer a place to play.
What happened to Genesis Casino
The timeline is well documented. The UK Gambling Commission imposed an interim licence suspension in July 2020 (lifted that October), then in January 2022 fined Genesis Global £3.8m and suspended its licence over compliance failings. Genesis exited the UK on 6 December 2022, when all 14 of its brands went dark, and the company was wound up in Malta on 23 December 2022.
The Malta Gaming Authority suspended the licence in January 2023 and cancelled it in January 2024. Genesis Casino closed globally in January 2023, and the ‘closed for rebranding’ page it still shows has never led to a relaunch.
What Genesis Casino offered
In its day the casino ran an extensive multi-provider slots and table-games library with a strong live-casino section and a full range of UK banking options. None of that is available now, and no former bonus or wagering figure carries over to any live site.
The domain today
The genesiscasino.com address serves only a placeholder confirming the casino is closed and that none of its services are active for any players. There is no revived brand behind it. Any ‘.uk’ or look-alike page presenting itself as the official Genesis Casino is an unaffiliated clone, and this page links to none of them.
Where UK players go now
Former Genesis players should pick a casino that currently holds a UKGC licence. NewCasinoWay covers live alternatives such as Casumo and 888 Casino. To prioritise payout speed, see best payout casinos.

FAQ
Is Genesis Casino still open?
No. Genesis Casino stopped serving UK players on 6 December 2022 and closed globally in January 2023. The site still shows a ‘closed for rebranding’ notice, but no relaunch has ever followed.
Is the site at genesiscasino.com the real brand?
The domain only serves a placeholder stating the casino is closed and none of its services are active. There is no working casino behind it. Ignore any look-alike ‘.uk’ clone claiming otherwise.
Why did Genesis Casino close?
It was the flagship of Genesis Global Limited, which was fined £3.8m by the UK Gambling Commission in January 2022, surrendered its UK licence, went dark on 6 December 2022 and was wound up in Malta later that month. The MGA cancelled its licence in January 2024.
