Have Netent Blocked the UK??

[brianmon]

Since midnight I haven't been able to load ANY Netent slots on ANY site. But I can see from sites such as Thrils and Casumo etc, who have a 'live' list of wins, that Netent games are being played. I've even tried different browsers, just in case it was a problem with chrome, which I normally use, although I was playing Netent at Unibet earlier, without any problem

I am in the UK as well and also cannot get netent games to load.

Cannot see why they would block us. Those "live" win lists are usually hours behind I think.

 

[Gaz237]

Uk as well and the same.

Works for Canada. What kind of error are you getting?

We've been warned a couple of months ago that Netent might pull out of certain countries, not sure if it's related.

Had problems as well but was working just there at Betsafe

 

[fun4all]

working for me now also

Think it must just have been a problem at the time.

I seriously do not think that NetEnt will block the UK in any way. If there was any intention of that happening then the big bookmaking sites Ladbrokes and William Hill would not be adding more netent games nearly every day.

Wasnt today meant to be the original cut of date for uk licence to come into affect? maybe had something to do with that and netent had an auto block, just a thought, but have also tried now and works

It seems NetEnt are insisting that operators must have a licence to offer gambling in the player's country before they can allow the player to play NetEnt games. This should mean that after the cut off date, NetEnt games will only work in casinos with a UK licence.

The problem is probably down to a mix up due to dates changing, the status of licencing not always being clear, and erring on the side of caution (blocking if there is doubt as to the licence status).

Thanks to the UKGC delay, UK players face yet another full month of uncertainty

The delay may help operators, but because they are intentionally keeping players in the dark, we had only the hard cut off date after which we could assume there would be peace after the chaos. I was expecting the weekend and the start of this week to be a period of maximum uncertainty and chaos, and that by the next weekend UK players would know where we stood with the majority of casinos. Now, it's possible that some of the casinos that appear to be "in" by virtue of not blocking play may actually be "outs" delayed by a month, and that there will be another burst of uncertainty at the end of November.

Had the same last night when I was playing at Betsafe...
All screens remained white/blank when trying to load Netent games...
So it has been resolved now as I can read here...
Was annoyed as I was on a good run on Netent when all of a sudden I couldn't play them anymore,MGS and WMS worked fine on Betsafe when this error occured with Netent.
And I am in Ireland,so there should be no issues with Netent anyway licensing wise.

We soon no with the new flood of emails trying to drain our pockets for another month, Extra cash for them

i would consider a blessing to be excluded from NETENT permanently. i've had a great week of winnings in BDBA, Jurassic Park, Fish Party, 300 shields catching x300 stage, GWG 2 catching frozen wilds for 700x bet and stupidly with every session i tried the worst provider hoping for what. Secret of the Stones, 75 euros on 0.25 to see 3 scatters. Reel Steel, half an hour with wilds extincted. Go Bananas, at every 50 ate on 0.60, 10-15 back for the false impression of winning. Creature 300 spins no feature, JATB 60 on 0.40 - no feature. DOA, standard rare features with only one wild. i wish the casinos would implement a function to self exclude from providers or certain games. sitting there in my face makes me playing
if MG casinos have had the compensations/freespins/promos like multi platform could have been money saver for me.

There was a temporary disturbance of the net ent service which has nothing to do with UK regulations.

Seems to be an ongoing issue. Keep getting booted out of DOA on Betsafe.

Betsafe has almost been unplayable for me last week and during the weekend. I shouldn't waste my time and money if they cant sort it. There are stages where its OK and i get game time - Like now its just annoyingly laggy - I deposited, played 3 spins and left.

Sympathise with that point of view - had the start of what looked like a promising session ruined by the cut outs.

I am so pissed off, dep'd last night at an accredited casino, no Netent games working, all came up unavailable, I just spoke with live chat and asked if it was because I was playing a bonus, the answer was no, there was a maintenance issue, said nothing we can do now since your bonus and dep are gone.

There should be some notification that if a site has lost 40% of their games temporarily, I feel cheated.

So what would they have done if you had money left? Magically got the machines going again , Its a joke if there's a majour issue than an email would not hurt, I mean it does not stop most casinos hammering out emails for bonus ect

"Have Netent Blocked the UK??"

Hopefully yes.
