There are no announcements anyplace other than what you see when you login to tradal.
I didn’t even get any mail abut it.
It apparently takes care of Empire affs for the time being, but the casino players that were part of the deal also have disappeared still.
The deal wasn’t just about Empire, it included all Iglobal properties, including the two casinos that have been combining players from 4 previous casinos.
I have inquired at Tradal about this but received no answer.
So this is a partial solution, and there have been posts on CAP about it for a few days.
Not sure how permanent it is either.
