GoWild Casino says goodbye to UK players

[Luciana]

Hi darlings

 

 

Sad news for UK players, who love GoWild Casino. They decided to exclude UK market, after 5 successful years of cooperation, starting from 10th September!

 

Existing UK accounts will be migrating to 32Red Casino, since the UK database is sold to this casino.

 

"Further to announcements detailing the proposed new licensing, regulatory and taxation regimes in the UK, we undertook a thorough review of our UK business going forward" - says GoWild Casino.

Sad news... And that's just the beginning as I'm expecting a lot more casinos to say goodbye to their UK and ROI players due to the new regulations which UKGC is about to imply from 16th Septmber.

Shocking!

[Luciana]

What new regulations is UK going to announce?

Something to do with licenses I think! Not something I particularly pay attention to personally but I'm sure Valdes will know more. He isn't called the Guru for nothing right? :D

[ValDes]

If you are interested to know more about this, you'd better pay a quick visit to UKGC website - http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/

 

And here's the latest knew regarding the new gambling legislation taking place on September 16th - http://www.gamblingc...t_to_apply.aspx

 

I think the world of Microgaming casinos will never be the same any longer, at least for the UK players.

Sharon and I are just too lazy to Google

A lot of the Microgaming Casinos that have pulled out, and I'm just going by what's been written on here, I haven't actually checked it out myself, I won't miss anyway!

Well then, thank you for estimating my efforts so high. 

[Awena]

many players will refuse to believe but this is what is it .

 

Close the one door,open another one, hey we still have NetEnt,Playtech.

There isn't so much official and/or confirmed information as of yet... Rumors, 'hot news', rep's announcements here and there, but the real picture will be revealed in the next few weeks (after October 1st ) I guess when the new Gambling Licensing and Advertising Act will come in place. It could turn out to be just a storm in a teacup, but it could also result a brand new world of online gambling as Britain is the leading country in Europe in terms of number of online gamblers and revenue generated by online gambling in general.

So is it just Microgaming casinos pulling out Valdes? Have we had a story on this on AG I could read?

Not at all. The new UK Gambling Licensing and Advertising Act concerns all kinds of online gambling and all online casinos including.

I know for a fact 32 red will not pull out.

 

So, basically.... UK who is by far the most down to earth country in the world where police don't even carry guns, is closing it's doors to online gaming by introducing new legislation to control it. Maybe tax it.

 

That's a very sad thing for players but in fairness to legitimate casinos, it's the best thing possible.

 

I respect the decision.

 

Canada will soon follow. I am sure of this. I just hope that the honest casinos are still going to offer their product into Canada.

 

One problem that will arise will be the payouts. These online casinos have been like the Wild West. Now that the UK will set the standard, these casinos will not be as profitable. So what does that mean, it means that their income will decrease. So basically the RTP will be affected.

 

When online casinos are used to making millions every day and then have to take a loss, it is inevitable for them to tighten up.

 

I guess we will just have to weather the storm.

 

GO wild has been a rocket casino for me. Paying and paying. I hope the transfer of their UK players will not be a damper on other players. If they are going to lose money from the UK, it has to come from somewhere else.

 

I suggest we all be careful and think carefully before our next deposit.

Certain casinos may even close their doors now that things are starting to get cleaned up.

 

Back in the dAy when the USA cleaned house, dozens of poker rooms went belly up. Many players lost their balances. A few remained and are still active.

 

Sad for UK players on one end but if you think about it carefully, now you will be protected more than ever. This new UKGC is their to protect all UK players. In time, it will best thing in time. Just a matter of time before canada decides to pass some sort of law.

Johnny, I will repeat it once again, specially for you! United Kingdom is not closing its doors on online gambling at all! You just have to obtain a licence in order to be able to offer online gambling to players from within UK and ROI. Simple as that. 

[Irine]

That's solemn decision is shocking for our friend in UK.

Oh really?! And could you be so kind to share with us why do you think so? Please...

[Luciana]

Guru don't be aggressive Nor sarcastic

[Johnnygotthebone]

Getting a UK licence is not like getting a khanawakee or Malta licence that my dead grandma can get b

 

The UK is not going to tolerate anything.

 

I am positive that a high number of casinos will pull out. Sad but true.

 

So what does that mean for the rest of the world? Dunno.....

 

I know one thing for sure.... Many countries will follow. So many already have legislation. But when the UK makes a move..... Many follow!

 

In a way, I look forward to Casinos licenced in the UK. 100% Ü will get a fair game. 100%.

Maybe I should correct my statement. The UK is not closing its doors. I may have said it wrong....

 

They are just going to make anyone who is not able to obtain a UKGC licence basically get out. If the mighty honest gowild casiko left..... I can just imagine who else will leave

[Awena]

Let me add that my opinion is that new license thing is great and will bring many changes, positive ones.

 

It is not about closing the door but fixing things which is great.

[Luciana]

Yes, it's true TRM But I'm sure it doesn't affect you anyhow

[Johnnygotthebone]

Go wild is by far the best paying casino on the internet. Without a doubt.

 

I hope that they don't tighten up now that they left the UK.

 

I love GO wild casino. If I sense for one second that they tightened up, come October, they will be replaced by either UNIBET or 32RED.

Oh, I hope they will 'tighten up' whatever that means actually! Would be really awesome to see you bashing around again!
