    .

    Casinomeister started this thread since Centrebet wanted to be unlisted from the accredited list. The main reason was that Centrebet only wanted to focus on their core regions in the future- Australia, Denmark, Greece, Cyprus and Norway.

    Well, today I got this in my e-mail. They are now also throwing out Norwegian players. Only Australia, Denmark, Greece and Cyprus left

    As I mentioned, they have launched some new Norwegian TV commercials etc lately. One day they are using a lot of resources to get new players from Norway and the next day they are kicking them out. Yeah, way to go

    I know that Sportingbet has had a "no-Norwegian players" policy for a longer time (as one of very few casino/sportsbooks with this policy), but a bit surprised to see that they also implements this policy to their Centrebet division as well.

    As Casinomeister said in another thread, Another day in the world of online gaming

    Seems ok to gamble for me. They even have everything translated and depositing seems to work. Strange bookie... remember them paying out quickly and without problems when I played regulary with them some years ago...

    edit: Is this same company as sportingbet (the old paradisepoker) ??? They must be big... that was a big site back then...

    As Simmo! wrote earlier in this thread:

    "Additional note: I enquired about this last week and was told that will still accept players from other jurisdictions (they previously accepted) if they roll up at the door but that they did not want to advertise in those countries and that those players would not be elligible for bonuses.

    So yes, they probably accepts customers from Sweden (at least until further notice), but they will not give you any bonuses etc. They really do not want people outside of their little core market to use them. Weird strategy.

    They are now kicking players out from their CORE region. They seem to be in chaos, first spending considerable resources driving Norwegian traffic one day, and throwing the lot out the next. Given that this is simply down to a long standing Sportingbet policy, rather than a sudden change, it seems one team (marketing) was not in communication with another (strategic planning), so spent loads of money on the Norwegian market until they were told they shouldn't even be accepting Norwegian players in the first place.

    Surely the situation is even MORE dodgy for them in Australia, as they are supposed to have a license to operate there granted by an Australian state, yet get around this by being based offshore. Greece has also looked at cracking down on offshore gambling companies, and Denmark is "full of bonus abusers". This could leave them with only Cyprus, a HUGE Mediterranean country full of potential gamblers

    "World class" is completely unnecessary for a group with such a narrow focus, which far from tolerating non-core players, now seems to be throwing them out.

    I don't think you can blame the casinos for just doing what their legal team advises. It's not like they want to exclude any players from playing but where there is regulatory doubt then they have to act. Just because we don't know the exact reason doesn't mean their actions are not justified. I think it shows it's extremely hard for companies to operate in the current environment.
