IMPORTANT more casinos leaving Uk Market!

Here is some more casinos to add to the do not deposit if UK/IRE resident folks! RED FLUSH,Casino La vida and Major Tom are all leaving uk market soon! I love the raise your game tourneys provided by LCB on these ! Any chance LCB can arrange a deal with another MG casino to enable UK players access to these fantastic tournaments? So just to reiterate if based in UK do not deposit in these casinos as they will not be available to you within the next few weeks.

I am really upset at losing so many casinos which are trustworthy and especially the fact they have daily freeroll slot tournaments which i play most days and will now be entirely excluded from participating in... it genuinely is a very great loss for us uk online players and I dread to think how many more of our most trusted names are still to announce their departure from this market. GUTTED.

So even exiting players can play anymore bigdk1888? I would think they would no longer accept new UK sign ups.

At the moment it is still possible to sign in to all of these casinos as a UK player and I personally have not received any notification of being kicked out as yet but I have seen many people discussing it elsewhere on the web so I have no doubt the day is coming very soon when we are all completely excluded

By the time anybody lets us know it is gonna be too late by the looks of things, the casinos appear uninterested in telling anybody what is happening in advance, I was hoping this was because they were intending to get a license at the last minute, but it looks like my hopes are about to be dashed. If 32red group disappear as well I am gonna be heartbroken

The way things are going. We may have 1 big global online casino with 1 world currency. Maybe David R. or Jacob R. will let me be a casino host. 

If it were bet way as big global i would run fast as i could, please keep 32 red i 2nd what wscalley in last sentence

How come I cannot find spin casino?

I think they might have been referring to "Spin Palace" casino, which is part of the Betway group if I remember rightly, ridiculous for them to make such a mistake though, of course. The whole thing has got beyond the joke now, especially with CasinoUK shutting down only a couple of months after transferring all the players from other VPL brands into it - I guess they failed to get a license???

That's a big mistake from All Slots.  It didn't even click with me.

Update of other casinos leaving UK. Existing players need to login and make sure to withdraw any funds left.

Club World Brands
EmuCasino
Vegas Partner Lounge Casinos - Crazy Vegas, casino UK, Golden Riviera.....
Spin Palace Group - Spin Palace, Cabaret Glub, Jackpot City, Ruby Fortune, Lucky Nugget, casino Epoca, Gaming club.

Go Wild - Their UK players have been migrated to 32Red

WildJack casino too. But it's a bit confusing because players are being emigrated to spin casino but the one linked to Betway not spin palace group.

All slots have changed the date:

The GBGA challenge to the new law is being heard today and tomorrow in the High Court.  It'll be interesting to read the result.  I guess the European Union does have some good sides to it as the GBGA believe the UK's new POC law is against European Union law.

Casino fantasia is alos leaving the UK market.

Existing UK accounts at Royal Vegas, Platinum Play, Euro Palace, 7 Sultans, Major Tom, Red Flush etc will be Migrated to Spin casino.

Just received this:

Paf is currently applying for an operating licence from the Gambling Commission. While preparing for Paf’s relaunch in Britain according to the Gambling Commission's requirements, Paf has disabled the possibility for new customers in Britain to register a gaming account at Paf. During that period All current Paf customers in Britain will still be able to log in to their accounts and, if desired, make withdrawals from their accounts. These changes will come into force on September 30, 2014.

UK players thereafter will not be able to create new accounts and existing players will not be able to perform any gaming activity until licence has been granted. Paf expects to be granted an operating licence from the Gambling Commission..."

Omni Casino and Fly Casino will also be leaving the UK market from 1 Oct 2014. They will not be applying for a license.

Think I'm going to move to a different country!

Another bites the dust!

From October 1, UK members will no longer be able to log in, deposit or bet at Betrally.

CherryCasino, EuroSlots, SpilleAutomater and EuroLotto.

What will happen to UK account holders?

As of 24th September
- We will stop accepting deposits from existing players residing in the UK.
- We will stop accepting new players residing in the UK

As of 30th September
- All existing UK player accounts will be closed
- Funds remaining in player accounts may be withdrawn at any time up until 30th September 2014. - However, after 30th September, UK players will have to contact our customer support team in order for us to transfer funds to their bank account.

The legislation has been put back a month today due to some challenges in court, so there is a chance some casinos will allow us to keep playing til the end of October now, though I suppose it depends how far along they are with their migration procedures. I just cannot believe how many we are losing though, its devastating

I mentioned on another thread just now I think one of the big reasons its gone this way is that the law has a condition that prevents software providers from allowing their games to be used by any casino who has not obtained a license, at penalty of being prevented from offering their games AT ALL, even from licensed vendors. As a result I imagine Playtech/Microgaming/NetEnt are going to great lengths to ensure all of their clients are either applying for the license, or kicking out their UK customers - any hopes of a 'grey market' seem to be out the window, perhaps with the exception of RTG who may continue as they were because NONE of their casinos intend to get a UK license, therefore none of them have anything to lose! What a ridiculous and backwards situation!

AllSlots Casino have confirmed they are delaying the move to Spin Casino until further notice.

All confusing to me but looks like Brits will only have bookie casinos and flagship i.e 32red , befsafe , ect

Star Games no longer accepting UK players.

We regret to announce that due to regulatory development StarGames will no longer accept real money players residing in the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom will be listed in our Terms and Conditions as one of the restricted areas where we do not accept real money players from a specific region.

Message from Casino Club:

Unfortunately, we are being forced to shut down the UK market due to national gambling regulations.

The Closure will take effect today.

Thank you for playing at CasinoClub! It has been a real pleasure having you here with us.

I feel that this new regulation procedure has been coming for quite some time now. Greed seems to be a word that is used widely to describe it.

When I started gambling, problem gambling was rarely a thing. Bookmakers only offered betting on the horses and dogs. Pub's had fruit machines there with £5 jackpot's purely to give their customers some entertainment and hopefully keep them in the pub longer so they buy another beer or 2. Chip shops/takeaways also had £5 jackpot fruit machines which gave the customer a bit of fun while waiting for their food to be cooked.

Players wouldn't mind losing a few £'s. That all changed when the industry became greedy.

All types of gambling device/service was making profit... yet it just wasn't enough for the owners and shareholders.

Notoriously bad FOBT's entered bookmakers allowing £100 bet per spin on roulette/hand on blackjack. Pub fruit machine jackpot's were increased, but the payout % lowered (from 80% to just 74% on average). Now they stand at £100 jackpot and can take over £20 before they let players on the feature game board.

Gambling was put everywhere, tv, sports team sponsor's, all on the high street and the online market thrived. Many people who used to gamble previously and didn't mind losing a few £'s played the new wave of gambling only to find they were gambling more and it's much harder to walk away from a £30 loss than a £3 loss.

It became more mainstream partly because of the amount of problem gamblers but also because gambling is everywhere. Yet the only move the government made was restricting chip shops/takeaway's from having fruit machines and only allowing them to have games of skill. They were not the problem though as many kept to having the old £5 jackpot machines.

Now the greed of the industry is having consequences. The government are demanding that casino's that are located offshore to bypass hefty tax, pay tax if they offer gambling to UK customers meaning many no longer offer gambling to the UK.

Sad times for gambling but I understand completely why it's a thing

Yikes.

If that is the case what casinos are safe to bet online? Really?

I have held my breath on any cash out anticipating problems. Not that I have had many mind you):

RTG has always been like that and i think they are going to take a turn for the worse (if that is possible). Without  anyone to monitor their behavior, the non payment complaints will get worse IMO.

Due to a new UK legislation, Betsson is closing all GB accounts as of 31st January 2015 00:00 CET.
If you have any funds pending on your account, these would need to be withdrawn by January 31st, 2015. 

Betsafe will still be allowed to UK players though it said in the same e-mail! Thank goodness because I run good at Betsafe! and they payout fast!

well the fact is that in order to get an UK licence you have to follow strict rules! i know lot of casino's where i play already got there uk licence like guts,thrills,superlenny! they went early with there licenses! so no problem there!

Due to UK Legislation, CasinoEuro is closing all GB accounts as of 30th of March 2015. This development will regrettably result in the closure of all GB player accounts.
