I did not lose any money in this, luckily my state was banned from Microgaming years ago, but I know a lot of people who did lose money. It is time to really press Microgaming and for people in the indistry to realize they are a sham. Years ago Microgaming was a name you could trust but first Tusk and now this. It shows Microgaming has no concern for what their licensed skins do and no concern for player funds being help separate or safely. If they turn their heads again on this they need to be marked as a rogue software provider as it seems they clearly don't care about players or legit licensees concerns. I can't think of more than a handful of Microgaming skins I would want even owing me $100 right now.
If I were a skin owner I would be furious, this just devalued your property no matter how strong your brand is. Players everywhere are left to wonder if they can trust any MG site. I hope the skins push MG to make this and Tusk right or risk losing the entire business in the long run.
Are we really to a point where we can say Microgaming is one of the shadier companies in this industry? Who ever thought this day would come?
Yes, they only cared how much rake they could take before Eurolinx went bust. They knew of the Eurolinx problems. Personally I now have one MG account open and have seized my play on it pending my resolution. Even if its a casino account, its the same MG scumbags that provide the software.
And about the company and the licenses:
"Eurolinx" is a company owned by Eurolinx International NV, whose offices are held at PO Box 6052, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. It is marketed by same through an exclusive agreement with Eurolinx Ltd, whose offices are held at Vincenti Buildings, Suite 409, 14/19 Strait Street, Valletta Malta. Eurolinx shall heretoafter be referred to as the "Company."
Eurolinx is licensed in Curacao under the master license #5536/JAZ.
So no Malta license here.
The players at Eurolinx and BetOnBet are in a much better position than those at TUSK IMO. There are "bigger" names and they are much more likely to be taken over by another poker room. Cake perhaps? They already had some negotiations with Battlefield and RedNines during the beginning of the TUSK fiasco.
The casino players are in a worse position and in the mercy of the liquidators. The customer base is probably worth zilch. Worth to remember is that the casinos in TUSK group had known brands and a large player database and was taken over by Casino Rewards with costs under one million AUD. A good deal IMO.
I cant see how any operator would like to take over the Linx casino with its liabilities, because as I said earlier the player database isnt probably worth much.
So their only hope IMO lies in that Eurolinx and BetOnBet and their liabilities are taken over by another room.
And I think this was the final blow to the already tarnished reputation of Microgaming Poker Network. Some bigger affiliates have already stopped promoting all MG poker rooms. So there will basically be Ladbrokes/Unibet left.
