CentreBet Casino - no longer Accredited

[Casinomeister]

Just a heads up that CenterBet has informed me that they want to be removed from the Accredited Casino section. They no longer can accept players from any countries but Australia, Denmark, Greece, and Cyprus.

It's rather shortsighted IMO - and rather an abrupt move since they have been listed on this site for several years.

And there are plenty of players from Australia and Greece here - but oh well, it's their choice.

Bye bye Centrebet.

This does not sound right, Centrebet cannot accept Aussies in the casino :/ they would be in hot water because of there sports book.

It's even in there terms and conditions

4. Forbidden Jurisdictions
4.1 - Centrebet Casino and Centrebet Games are not permitted to offer gaming to persons present in Australia. If you are present in Australia, you agree you will not enter, or attempt to make an entry into, a game conducted on those sites.

4.2 - You are not permitted to access Online Casino and/or the Website if you are present in Australia or a resident of Antigua and Barbuda, the Netherlands Antilles, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, France and French Overseas Territories, Hong Kong, Israel, Malta, the Philippines, Turkey, Italy or the United States of America.

4.3 - Any entries that are made in breach of this condition are void and no entitlement to any winnings arises. Centrebet Ltd reserves the right to terminate any player's registration and close the player's account, if the player acts in breach of this requirement.

I am a little confused here

Can't understand their decision. Being accredited here doesn't mean to be able to accept all players in the world. Accredited casino must meet given requirements...I doubt they stopped.

This is from centrebet affiliate:

I guess they fly away and will continue focusing only to these 5 countries, wtf!

Here is their announcement:

I asked them if they really wanted to be removed from the Accredited Section. They said "yes".

I see I thought we where just talking about there casino side, so my mistake.

Australia is a core market but only on the Sports book side of things.

You could always throw up some sports book banners for Aussies and CentreBet

It is disappointing to see that Centrebet do not want to be a part of this casino community. I was hoping that they finally would release their potential (with regards to the Sportingbet acquisition).

But on the other side, this is not a surprise. Sportingbet buys Centrebet with the intention to accelerates the group's strategy of increasing its exposure to regulated markets and of geographic diversification. Especially the fast-growing market in Australia is of great importance for Sportingbet.

I do not think that the review process was long and difficult. This has probably been planned long before Sportingbet agreed to buy Centrebet.

I think this may be related to the recent deal through which Sportingbet in Europe is taking over Centrebet for around A$183 million.

By rationalising and focusing operations in specific areas, the merged company can probably make significant savings.
