A fire on Gibraltar caused disruption to several i-gaming firms over the weekend.

The incident at Waterport Power Station on Sunday, caused by a generator catching fire due to a mechanical problem, resulted in a power outage, the BBC reports.

This resulted in disruption for several online betting operations, including William Hill, Betfred and Ladbrokes, based on the British territory.

The lack of power meant people were unable to place bets online for several hours.
