This is worrying as also Casino Heroes has block on microgaming also for UK players. I know that Casino Heroes does not have uk license technically for new players
but they kept old uk players which I also find strange.
It was not to bring Casino Heroes into this sorry or anyway to derail thread. BUT just that I found Microgaming slots to be blocked for me (uk) as well is strange now that it has happened at Redbet.
Could it be Microgaming pulling out of UK surely NO?
That is strange, as this was only a temporary concession during the transition period. Now, if they have no UK license, they can't serve ANY UK players.
As for MGS being blocked for the UK, this is very odd because if MGS were like RTG, having no UK software license, it would be a universal block, not just at selected casinos. On the other hand, if MGS have decided not to renew it's UK licence, then we may be seeing a staged pull out from the UK as it's contracts with individual sites come up for renewal.
Often with MG, the operators are kept in the dark as to what is really going on, so they honestly believe it's a technical issue. There was a similar problem with Spain, Italy and France. Players were suddenly blocked from MGS, but the casinos had no idea why for a few days, and only when they tried to resolve the issue with MG were they told that IP blocking of these countries had been implemented because these casinos had failed to obtain the correct licence. However, in some cases applications were not yet being taken by the country concerned, so there would have been no way for the operators to have complied as per MGs timescales.
If it IS IP blocking, and not a technical issue, then using a proxy will see the "technical issue" suddenly cured, and of course players from outside the UK will have no "technical issues" at all. Do not PLAY though if the game works through a proxy, but not otherwise, as any winnings could be voided. Just getting the game to open would be a valid diagnostic.
A MG induced block would probably see other unrelated sites also losing their MG games for UK players, and it would be a big problem for casinos like
32Red and Casino Rewards who would lose their UK players overnight as they depend on MGS games.
