It seems Playtech are not entirely safe to play with, unlike Microgaming who have the capability to shut down the servers of errant casinos, which they did to Sunny Group years ago, forcing them to abandon players and move to another software provider with looser criteria as to what is acceptable.
This has dragged on for months, yet Action Online seem able to continue taking money from players who have not cottoned on to the fact they are effectively bust, and unable to make payments.

Perhaps Action Online are hoping to trade their way out of the problem, risking none of their own money, but only that of the players.
Perhaps Playtech will take notice when the licencing fee goes unpaid, but by then it will be too late for the players, and Playtech will not have lost any "real" money, just failed to make a profit on the software licencing at one of it's many customer casinos.

Microgaming also have a trust fund to pay players of failed operators, AND they are based in the Isle of Man. I expect this would get the attention of the software vendor if Action Online were Microgaming.
