LASSETERS SPORTSBOOK CLOSES
24 October 2008
Final chapter in Aussie company's online gambling
story
The Australian gambling company Lasseters wrote what
is probably the final chapter of its long running online
gambling story when it advised associates and customers
this week that it was closing the firm's sportsbook
operations. The closure follows similar moves on the
firm's online casino products, brought about by the
impact of the UIGEA and the consequent loss of much of
its American business.
Chief Operating Officer Brian Gordon advised in an email
that following the company's announcement to the
Australian Stock Exchange of September 9 (see previous
InfoPowa reports) the directors had subsequently taken
the decision to cease accepting wagers on Lasseters
Sportsbook and to close the business.
"It is important to note that whilst you will not be
able to bet, you will still have access to your
Lasseters account to withdraw your funds," Gordon
advised. "To avoid unnecessary delays, please ensure
that the personal registration and payment details in
your account are up-to-date and accurate.
"Your Lasseters account balance, minus any unused
bonuses is available to you immediately by following the
withdrawal procedure on our website.
"Players who have not previously provided age
identification and have an existing cash balance are
required to provide suitable age ID prior to withdrawing
funds. Please refer to the site FAQ's for further
information pertaining to proof of ID."
The advisory goes on to ask interested parties to ensure
that withdrawal requests are submitted before a Friday
October 31 2008 deadline, and assures players that
requests will be processed as fast as possible. Bank to
bank transfer is recommended as the fastest means of
achieving payment.
