I guess we now know it’s true. Microgaming really is pulling their license after they’re re-entering the U.S. with the Red Casino.
Sad…
Yes, it’s definitely true.
Not so smart on the part of MGS to keep such a tight reign on their licencees during times like this…

If they warned interops not to do what they did, then I think MGS is right to follow through.
If all of these casinos just ‘hold tight’ they hopefully will be all be able to get back into the US market with no problems. MGS is probably just trying to rein in any potential ‘gate jumpers’.
Sure, they have a right to do it, they don’t allow multiple softwares being used by licencees. It’s in the contract.
I just don’t think it’s so smart. They have now lost Intertops and Doyle’s.
It all depends upon what went on behind the scenes. Which we do not know and will never know the truth of what really happened (versions of what happened, sure).
The bigger picture may be controlling licensees and waiting until it is officially OK to jump back in the US market.

I am sure you are correct with that. I am still questioning the wisdom in it. Jumping back into the states will doubtlessly require large amounts of $ to obtain a license. And that after following in the footsteps of Party and shelling out a large sum for the DOJ. Financial strength is of utmost importance if they are ever going to be able to come back. Losing large clients isn’t contributing to financial wellness exactly.

True!
Unfortunately, one two or more large clients ‘pale’ in comparison to the value of re-entry into the US. Maybe, someone believed they were too important to be dumped.
It’s all conjecture!

True, and I generally don’t like to speculate about situations, but heck, the US gambling stance is all conjecture, there are no proper laws in place, what there is just covers segments.
Even UIGEA just refers to “illegal online gambling” and no one has been able to define that except perhaps by applying the wireact (re. telephone bookies) to sportsbetting.
So conjecture it is.
Another question is, does it affect the legal standing of the software provider if any licencees own additional casinos with different software?
Somehow I don’t think so.
