Ok, let me try and clear up what is happening.
RTG is a top casino software platform to run an online casino on. However, and unfortunately, due to the intricacies of casino operations, and how they work and the current industry landscape, we were not able to achieve the type of business that we wanted to with their platform. And worse, based on our projections, we were not going to be able to.
So to get to be the best we can be, we had to re-asses our entire business model. We found moving to a new platform to be the only way we could break out of our current situation and be able to live up to what players deserve.
We have been planning to make this move for some time now. Betonsoft and Rival were our main considerations for our move as they, together with RTG, are the best software platforms for US facing operators, at least IMHO.
By moving to become a stand alone Rival licensee, we hope to be able to offer faster payouts and better service, and a casino that is the best in it's class.
We stopped taking player deposits a while ago to make sure the least amount of player balances get trapped. If a player has any issues with a trapped balance, we will be glad to work with that player to ensure they receive fair treatment. We are making payouts, allowing players to use their balance in our other properties, and trying our best to make this as sooth as possible. The few bucks we would make from having players balances trapped is nothing to what we would lose in business, it would be insane for us to 'want to trap balances' as some are suggesting is our intention. That is like accusing us of burning cash to sell the ashes.
Our customer service is in place. We aren't going anywhere, just adjusting the core of our business, as I had promised in previous threads. In fact, if you look at my lasts posts, you will see me hinting at this move.
My apologies for any inconveniences this might cause our players, we hope to be up and running on our new platform shortly. I'll be sure to drop by this thread to answer any further questions, doubts or comments that you all may have.
Kind Regards,
