No GUTS/RIZK/BETSPIN/NETENT for Canada

[dionysus]

I just deposited at Trada casino and I can't play net ent games, just played there last week I think. Which really sucks especially since I only deposited for the 180 free spins on gonzo.. This sucks..

I imagine if you ask the rep, he'll sub for you

yup netent no longer works at trada for Canadians.

Thats too bad it was a good casino.

wont be playing in that casino anymore.

Very very annoying that trada didnt make an announcement in any way. I almost deposited. Would have been really pissed

Also want to mention I went to play their slots the other day and it was just a white screen. Went to live support and they werent told about the removal.

I don't think a single casino bothered to send out an email aside from the GUTS family and the Cap'n responding here.
Looks like they will indeed all be removing them.
Bummer.

Yeah I would of expected something, I just played there on Sunday. What a joke... Closing account, don't want to play microgaming there... My 100 lasted about 10 minutes.. I'll just stick to Vs and millions

sadly I will give up online gaming if they remove netent all together. There is zero chance I stick around just to play MG. If I wanted to get sexually assaulted I would just go to an all males prison and walk around naked.

To be fair, you could probably do it at an all female's prison too

Coming down to basically just MG does certainly suck. I hope GUTS loads up on Yggdrasil.

Hi lockinlove,

Unfortunately, that is correct. We were informed by our platform provider after the games were disabled for Canadians. Very disappointing for us too, and I'm sorry we hadn't made an announcement. We found out two days ago and have been making sure there is no way to restore them before making the official announcement.

We will be sending an email this morning, and of course any funds deposited with the intention of playing NetEnt games would have been refunded immediately. My apologies for the confusion.

Thanks,

Rachel.

Surely the industry is better than this. It's 2016, there is really no excuse for this kind of arrogant "couldn't give a toss about the player" attitude be that from the casino itself, or others in the supply chain. Even with the removal of NetEnt a done deal (although that's what Canadians were told the last time, and it wasn't in the longer term), keeping players fully informed would at least have encouraged more to stick with the casino through a feeling of mutual trust and loyalty. The platform providers also need to remember that although it's the casino operators that pay them, it is the players who allow the casino operators to be able to afford the payments in the first place, so ultimately the platform provider will suffer a larger than necessary fall in revenue for their "can't be arsed" attitude towards the operators.


Still, despite this renewed approach towards the legitimate operators, NetEnt seem to be losing ground in their fight against the game pirates. These pirates have the seeming support of their Curacao jurisdiction, and are countering claims that the games are not genuine supplied NetEnt with statements from their game provider assuring doubters that they have a proper supply licence from NetEnt, and that anyone who says otherwise is a liar. NetEnt on the other hand are staying silent, even when a player is trying to beat these pirates by taking legal action against them for misrepresenting the NetEnt games to be genuine and authorised, not pirate copies. One player looks set to lose their claim BECAUSE they are unable to get any kind of help from NetEnt, yet the pirates are managing quite a counter claim to prove that the games were genuine all along. Now, if in this case the UK Ombudsman rules in favour of the pirates that the NetEnt games were indeed genuine, and strikes out the players' claim, it will set a precedent for any other attempts to launch claims against these pirates that will hit them where it really hurts, in the pocket.

When NetEnt have completed their Canadian withdrawal, the likes of Affpower and their pirated copies of NetEnt games will be the ONLY way Canadians can play them, and although they are pirate copies, they do seem to be the genuine article, not an obviously poor quality knock off. The average Canadian player is not a member here, and probably has no idea that Affpower have been caught with their pants down offering pirate NetEnt games, and being pirate games, the NetEnt ban on Canada will not be applied, nor can it even be enforced at server level as the pirates are using their own servers, rather than the NetEnt servers.

Can any Canadian confirm whether or not slotsmillion still offer netent to Canadians?

 

[marcsudbury]

this thread is old but still important to me.. i am aware of 3 places i can still play net ent games..is there more accredited ones i am missing?

 

[Adriana B]

OK I am aware of Royal Panda, Videoslots and Slotsmillion. Other then that, none come to mind.

 

[marcsudbury]

OK I forgot royal panda haven't played there yet.. Bet at is also still good to go

 

[Adriana B]

Right. Forgot. Just like Slotty Vegas.

 

[loren]

As a Canadian, I nolonger see myself playing at Guts

Am i missing something?
Been doing a little research and it seams like Bet Victor has dead or alive, I am thinking they might
be alright.
Bet 365 has a few games, like gonzo and piggy riches, but sadly no doa.

 

[marcsudbury]

Just go to slots million or the others just names they have all games.. Except for Frankenstein, I heard it was back online but I haven't seen in these Casinos.

Update bet 365

they seam to have disabled the few netent games that they had.
I still like them it was ever so easy to get verified, though I have been with
them for years, and true to form a lot of the big sports books accept instadebit.
As an aside 32 red has never requested documentation...I guess that they
are smart enough to recognize a double or tripled verified electronic check.
