Just receive this email:
“Dear operator,It is with great regret that we have to inform you that Total eGame will have to close down their poker operations on the very short term.
The reason for this closure is that due to European regulations the requirements for online poker are getting very strict and it is required to work under a European poker license that includes strict KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements. It is for this reason that Microgaming doesn’t allow any operator to work without such Poker license any more.
Due to the nature of our business, we cannot guarantee the KYC requirements (not for operators, it’s network or their players) and therefor it will not be possible to get such license. This automatically leads to a situation where we cannot continue offering the Total eGame poker anymore.”
For the policy of KYC (Know Your Customer), how many more operators will be close?
Wow… This is a big update. jment, thank you so much for posting this up in the forums.
So… who else in the community does this effect?
What happens now?
