Your Input Please Red Queen casino closing

Hi Everyone Just confirming that this is the case and as of the 01/11/2018 Red Queen Casino has decided to cease operations, after this time all game play on the site will cease but the site will remain online so that customers will be able to access and withdraw any remaining funds. This is due to a strategic decision taken by the Easigames board. The company hasn’t taken this decision lightly and several factors have led to this outcome. A shift of company emphasis and resources towards the wider group will be taking place in its absence.
 
This has to be one of the fastest casino accreditation and closing ever. Always sad to see a decent casino close. Too many shysters out there and not enough good ones. It's a pity.
 
Very sad news. Can't think of anything negative to say about Red Queen. For years its been a great place to play, fast withdrawals etc.

Where I first discovered Thunderkick slots. Remember losing £2k on that damn Birds on a Wire slots - that was even before it got nerfed!
 
Was this not recently accredited?.. sad to see them fold, but accreditation one minute and closed the next hardly fills me with confidence regarding so called accredited casinos.

A very strange, and unfair, comment. The rep stated that: "the site will remain online so that customers will be able to access and withdraw any remaining funds." So it is not as if the casino is doing a runner with players' funds, which seems to be what you are implying.

Really!?.. not the case at all. Hardly a place I’d ever trust...so what you can get your OWN winnings. Should be like that as standard, not a good thing.
Glad I never deposited at such a poor casino with terrible management.
 
Missed this thread and just deposited, then tried to play and got the message onsite that it was closing. Requested withdrawal, hopefully that will come through. @ChrisReid_RQC is there a way to stop taking deposits while still allowing withdrawals?

So because casino management decided to cease operations for a particular casino, just after they became accredited, for reasons explained by the rep, and in circumstances where there is no indication of rogue behaviour at all, you decide to throw all accredited casinos under the bus?

OK.

Hi David

I am sorry about that and don't worry i have approved your withdrawal this morning and it should be with you in 3-5 working days as normal. We have left the depositing facility on the site due to the fact that most of the customer funds that we currently hold are below our minimum withdrawal threshold and also the way that our merchant services work, which is on a one in one out basis. Having this facility available makes it as easy as possible for customers to withdraw their remaining funds in these circumstances.

However i have taken your comments on board and i will put a notice on the deposit page for anyone else that might be confused.

Cheers

Chris

Where did I state all accredited?. Also the only accredited casinos I trust and use have been so for at least 2 years, accreditation is indeed a sign of intent, doesn’t mean after that they will be the same..
there’s many examples of such in here.

In an ideal world casinos should think a bit about the longer term. Not today getting exposure or getting accredited and tomorrow close...

But there's usually a big lag between the owners and the employees of course.

To quote: "hardly fills me with confidence regarding so called accredited casinos." There was no distinction made in your initial post.

I agree. But this is not an ideal world, and there is many a slip between the cup and the lip.

Also, don't forget that accreditation is purely a CM construct, and while it is extremely valuable, its value is limited to those people who happen across the CM forum. Accreditation is not the definitive standard by which all casinos should be judged, much as I wish it were.

Tit for tat.
Hear what you state however, just surerly the longevity of a casino should be considered before said accreditation?.. I ain’t the boss here, just a member..
But to accredit a place then it goes tits up hardly fills me with smiles and deposits.

I agree that makes perfect sense.

From what I have gleaned about accreditation, longevity is a major consideration, although not always, if CM knows the background of any operator who is considering opening a brand new casino group. And even then, some of these new casinos go through a far more rigorous BoF than more established groups.

However, despite all the care that CM takes when vetting a casino, some long-term casinos have still gone very bad while accredited, e.g. Purple Lounge. And that must be a hell of a slap in the face for CM, bearing in mind all the hard yards he puts in trying to protect us from having this very thing happening.

That still shouldn't demean the merit and value of accredited casinos, even if they end up having a very short shelf-life, as in Red Queen. And IMHO, the casino didn't actually go "tits up" - the brand was just withdrawn from the market, which is subtly different.

Or perhaps that is just semantics on my part.
 
I know where Playford's coming from but in practical terms determining the sustainability of one of these places would be difficult. Example, some of them may be in a Group of Companies, shifting loses between them (as you can do), may have a profitable one in the Group whom management close for whatever reason etc. Mr Meister would need to do a financial appraisal ;). I'll get the bean counter.

Easier if they're Listed, public accounts are available, externally audited etc.

But these have been around a few years haven't they? And they are hardly going to say we are going to close in 3/6/12 months, so not sure how it could be done differently?

How are you supposed to know it's going to close in a few months though. You really are being rude about Bryan aren't you. If you have so little faith why are you here ?
