Millionaire House Club Under Investigation

A competition website with a former Boyzone member as an ambassador will not be launching later this month and is being investigated by the island’s Gambling Supervision Commission.

Leaflets put through doors on the island had said that the Millionaire House Club, which has Shane Lynch as an ambassador, would be launching from February 12.

However, after an intervention by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission, the company has now pulled those plans.

The GSC said that it had been made aware of the leaflets and the website which contains ‘overt references to the Isle of Man’.

It added: ‘‘Millionaire House Club’ is not licensed by the Commission to undertake the promotion of gambling activities in, on or from the Isle of Man.

‘The Commission is currently investigating prima facie contraventions of Isle of Man gambling legislation by ‘Millionaire House Club’.’

The company has also issued a statement on its Facebook page addressing the leaflets and its plans to launch on February 14.

‘This is no longer the case as wev been contacted by the gambling commission from Isle of Man to inform us that the islands gambling laws are different to the competition laws we have in the uk. The last thing MillionaireHouseClub wants break any laws on the island.

‘Therefore we will continue to operate our competition business from Northern Ireland with a relaunch on 14/2/24.

‘As our owners are opening a business in a different sector on the island and locating their family to live there millionaire house club will apply to the gambling commission for a licence to operate our competition business from Isle of Man in the future note residents from Isle of Man and the Channel Islands can register and play our competitions from the 14/2/24.’

Millionaire House Club Ltd is registered at 26 Ballymoney Road, Ballymena, Northern Ireland. However, Companies House has it recorded at a different address in the town.

The only registered director is Andrew Darren Clarke.
