Slotty Vegas/Betat withdrawing from the UK as of tomorrow

Some more details have been released by the UKGC. Seems their statements on here were pretty misleading

  1. Officials were satisfied as to the adequacy of resources now available to the applicant to fund the business in the future but not as to the source of funds used to acquire and support the business at the time of, and following, the changes of corporate control;
  2. The Commission had no adequate evidence of the source of funds used to acquire and finance the business in 2017 and through 2018;
  3. In a declaration form to another gambling regulator, the applicant failed to identify their previous ownership and management of a casino. This was also omitted from the applicant’s CV provided to the Commission;
  4. Despite a protracted period of correspondence and discussion between the applicant and Commission officials prior to the Panel hearing, further material was produced to the Commission shortly before the hearing;
  5. New, previously undisclosed information was identified during the hearing which required the applicant to provide further material; and
  6. After the provision of this further material, evidence of source of funds remained outstanding. This meant that neither the Licensee nor the applicant had a proper appreciation for the need to be full and frank with the Commission, nor for what the Commission requires to process an application of this kind.

So VulkanBet was after all VulkanBet. 1580145131689.png
 
I see William Hill Casino Club is joining them, withdrawing from the UK from 24th February.

I think they gave up on that brand a while back. Quite a few of the bookies used to run separate “casino” operations, which was just a confusing mess.
 
Was it WHCC who had an ace signup bonus years ago? Something like £250 no deposit, with the caveat that you had to bet it all within a limited period of time. You could keep winnings, though the wagering requirement kept it unlikely. Was a download or Flash site.
 
Never knew bookies used separate entities from the business side, but a lot of their menus are a garbled mess.

Casino, Sports, Games, Pachinko & flippin Sumo Wrestling did crowd the site, when two or three categories suffice surely.....

So apart from an already-overcrowded market shrinking, downsizing existing businesses isn't that bad an idea.

Players want ease of use, not War & Peace

I think a lot of it stems from the 2000s, when separating them out made some sense - games et al on download clients rather than in-browser.
