Allen's plea was also accepted on the basis he was working for his best friend and fellow cage-fighter Lee Murray and "did his bidding" in the planning of the raid - Britain's biggest cash robbery.
The pair fled to Morocco in February 2006 and began a cocaine-fuelled party lifestyle in the sun, buying property and expensive cars.
Court documents also revealed they spent thousands of pounds on breast enhancement operations in England for their partners.
Allen went on trial after being arrested and extradited to the UK but the Old Bailey jury was discharged in January after it failed to reach a verdict.
Jurors were told the robbery was masterminded by Lee Murray, who is still in Morocco.
